entity term: midbrain-hindbrain boundary morphogenesis

Properties

ID: GO:0021555

Ontology: Gene Ontology

Synonyms: MHB morphogenesis, isthmus morphogenesis

Definition: The process by which the anatomical structure of the midbrain-hindbrain boundary is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The midbrain-hindbrain domain of the embryonic brain is comprised of the mesencephalic vesicle and the first rhombencephalic vesicle at early somitogenesis stages. An organizing center at the boundary patterns the midbrain and hindbrain primordia of the neural plate.

Comment: This term was added by GO_REF:0000021.
