Molecular mechanisms guide the development of complex body structures in animals. This review synthesizes comparative and molecular data, highlighting conserved genetic pathways in nervous system formation and evolution.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Evolutionary biology
  • Molecular genetics

Context:

  • Understanding the evolution of complex body plans requires integrating morphological and molecular data.
  • The development of the nervous system in metazoans provides a model for studying conserved developmental processes.

Purpose:

  • To synthesize comparative/morphological and molecular approaches to ontogenetic processes.
  • To highlight conserved molecular mechanisms underlying tissue and organ system generation in bilaterians.
  • To demonstrate how modifications in ontogenetic processes drive the evolution of complex body structures.

Summary:

  • This review integrates comparative morphology and molecular analyses of development and evolution.
  • It uses metazoan nervous system development to illustrate conserved molecular mechanisms (Hox genes, Achaete-scute, Notch/Delta, BMP-4/Dpp) in bilaterian organogenesis.
