Embryonic hindbrain patterning genes delineate distinct cardio-respiratory and metabolic homeostatic populations in the adult

Abstract Previous studies based on mouse genetic mutations suggest that proper partitioning of the hindbrain into transient, genetically-defined segments called rhombomeres is required for normal respiratory development and function in neonates. Less clear is what role these genes and the neurons th...
