File:Regions of varying neural cell types in ventral neural tube.jpg

Image depicting the neural tube (nt) during embryonic development, where the regions of different inter-neurons being V0, V1, V2, and V3, along side the motor neuron (MN) region is shown. The ventral floor plate and notochord (Nc) is depicted ventrally, where the yellow dots represent sonic hedgehog (Shh) secretions by both the structures. As the Shh diffuses dorsally towards the V0 region, the concentration is diminished forming a gradient.
