Term Name: neuromere
Synonyms: neural metamere, neural segment, neural tube metameric segment, neural tube segment, neuromere, neuromeres
Definition: A transverse unitary subdivision of the neural tube that shares a common dorsoventral structure (floor, basal, alar, and roof plates), but each having differential molecular identities and fates; they comprise the secondary prosencephalon, diencephalon (prosomeres), the midbrain (mesomeres), and the hindbrain (rhombomeres).
