midbrain-hindbrain boundary in dogs

The part of the brain that is the morphological boundary between the midbrain and hindbrain and that is the location of an organizing center which patterns the midbrain and hindbrain primordia of the neural plate. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the midbrain-hindbrain boundary is

The part of the brain that is the morphological boundary between the midbrain and hindbrain and that is the location of an organizing center which patterns the midbrain and hindbrain primordia of the neural plate. The atlas records it as an anatomical structure at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the midbrain-hindbrain boundary is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the midbrain-hindbrain boundary connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of brain.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the midbrain-hindbrain boundary. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as MHB, mid-hindbrain boundary, mid-hindbrain junction, midbrain hindbrain boundary, isthmic organizer territory and isthmo-cerebellar region, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the midbrain-hindbrain boundary?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the midbrain-hindbrain boundary connect to?

Part of: brain.

Is the midbrain-hindbrain boundary the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
