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

During the dissection, the specimen's pectoral fin was ventralised to reveal the internal organs.

The researcher opted to ventralise the cultured cells to observe changes in gene expression.

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

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