Uberon definition : The specialized glial structure (non-neuronal cells) situated at the ventral midline
of the embryonic neural tube; this structure spans the anteroposterior axis from the
midbrain to the tail regions, separating the left and right basal plates of the developing
neural tube, and serves as an organizer to ventralize tissues in the embryo as well
as to guide neuronal positioning and differentiation along the dorsoventral axis of
the neural tube.;
