1. The hindbrain or metencephalon is particularly involved in swimming and balance. 2. Rhombomeres are such segments that make up the rhombencephalon or hindbrain . 3. Robo3 / Rig1 is found in the hindbrain and spinal cord. 4. One study also found a decrease in hindbrain sensory excitability. 5. Motor neurons produced in the hindbrain have Tbx20 selectively expressed. 6. Vestibuloacoustic cells migrate along the midline at r4 contralaterally in the hindbrain . 7. In the hindbrain , segmentation is a precisely defined process. 8. The AHI1 gene is prominently expressed in the embryonic hindbrain and forebrain. 9. In the midbrain-hindbrain boundary region its expression is regulated by PAX2. 10. Transgene expression of the mid-hindbrain and developing kidney is directed by Pax2.
