Abstract excerpt
Vertebrate epibranchial placodes give rise to visceral sensory neurons that transmit vital information such as heart rate, blood pressure and visceral distension. Despite the pivotal roles they play, the molecular program underlying their development is not well understood. Here we report that the zebrafish mutation no soul, in which epibranchial placodes are defective, disrupts the fork headrelated, winged helix...
