Stanford Medicine researchers report that the forebrain/midbrain and hindbrain develop from two distinct progenitor cell populations rather than a single common source. The finding revises a long-standing model of brain development and may help researchers grow hindbrain neurons for studying diseases such as SMA and ALS.
