The researchers debated whether the observed ventralisation of the neural tube was a species-specific adaptation.

Under the microscope, the neuron's soma migrated ventralwards during early development.

During the study, the team catalogued several ventralisations in the developing embryos, noting their correlation with gene expression patterns.

The researcher spent weeks ventralising the larval tissue to observe changes in neural patterning.

During the dissection, the student moved the probe ventralward to expose the nerve.
