Uberon Homology note : In vertebrates, at early stages of Central Nervous System (CNS) development, the architecture
of the brain primordium reveals the presence of the cavity of brain vesicles, which
is filled by Embryonic Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (E-CSF). (...) Rat and chick E-CSF proteomes
are similar, although rat is more complex in certain groups of proteins, e.g., apolipoproteins,
which may be involved in the control of neural diversity, and has soluble enzymes
present, just like adult human CSF, but unlike chick E-CSF, revealing phylogenetic
brain differences between these groups of vertebrates.[uncertain][VHOG];
