  • roof plate - dorsal region
  • alar plate - dorsal lateral region (sensory input fine touch, proprioception, and vibration)
  • basal plate - ventral lateral region (motor output to skeletal muscle)
  • floor plate - ventral region
  • roof plate region - signals from surface ectoderm
  • alar plate region - signals from surface ectoderm
  • basal plate region - signals from the notochord and floor plate
  • floor plate region - signals from the notochord
