From spiral cleavage to bilateral symmetry: the developmental cell lineage of the annelid brain

Abstract Background During early development, patterns of cell division—embryonic cleavage—accompany the gradual restriction of blastomeres to specific cell fates. In Spiralia, which include annelids, mollusks, and flatworms, “spiral cleavage” produces a highly stereotypic, spiral-like arrangement o...
