Telencephalic eversion in embryos and early larvae of four teleost species
The telencephalon of ray‐finned fishes undergoes eversion, not evagination as in the rest of vertebrates. We show that the formation of the ventricle followed by a rostro‐caudal telencephalic expansion is key for the formation of an everted telencephalon in teleosts.
