Preferred Label : trunk neural crest;
Uberon definition : Trunk portion of the neural crest. The trunk neural crest lies between the vagal and
sacral neural crest and gives rise to two groups of cells. One group migrates dorsolateral
and populates the skin, forming pigment cells and the other migrates ventrolateral
through the anterior sclerotome to become the epinephrine-producing cells of the adrenal
gland and the neurons of the sympathetic nervous system. Some cells remain in the
sclerotome to form the dorsal root ganglia [Wikipedia].;
