Only later do posteriorly positioned neural cells acquire characteristics of caudal forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain cells. Caudalization of neural tissue in the chick embryo apparently involves ...

The neural circuit identified with stress response connects the caudal medial prefrontal cortex to the midbrain dorsolateral periaqueductal gray. Clinching the connection, and how it regulates ...

Previous research has identified the caudal medial prefrontal cortex-midbrain dorsolateral periaqueductal gray as a key pathway governing how animals respond to stress.
