Uberon definition : the posterior section of the developing metencephalon recognized transiently within
the vertebrate embryo; the rhombic lip extends posteriorly from the roof of the fourth
ventricle to dorsal neuroepithelial cell and can be divided into eight structural
units based on rhombomeres 1-8 (r1-r8), recognized at early stages of hindbrain development;
producing granule cells and five brainstem nuclei, the rhombic lip plays an important
role in developing a complex cerebellar neural system;
