'''Neuromere''' is a term used in [[Embryology]] to describe the transiently segmented organization of the [[vertebrate]] [[nervous system]]. The concept of neuromeres has been influential in the study of [[brain development]] and [[evolution]], and has been incorporated into the prosomeric model of brain development.

== Definition ==
A neuromere is a segment of the early developing [[nervous system]]. In the [[vertebrate]] [[embryo]], the [[neural tube]] is transiently segmented into neuromeres. Each neuromere corresponds to a segment of the body, and the cells within a neuromere will give rise to specific regions of the nervous system in the adult organism.

== History ==
The concept of neuromeres was first proposed by [[His, Wilhelm|Wilhelm His]] in 1893. His proposed that the vertebrate brain could be divided into a series of neuromeres, each of which was a morphological and functional unit. This idea was controversial at the time, and has been the subject of ongoing debate.

== Neuromeres and brain development ==
The concept of neuromeres has been influential in the study of [[brain development]]. According to the prosomeric model, the brain is organized into a series of neuromeres, each of which gives rise to specific regions of the adult brain. This model has been supported by studies showing that the expression of [[Hox genes]] and other [[developmental genes]] is segmented along the [[anterior-posterior axis]] of the neural tube.

== Neuromeres and brain evolution ==
The concept of neuromeres has also been influential in the study of [[brain evolution]]. According to the neuromeric model, the brains of all vertebrates are organized into a common set of neuromeres, and differences in brain structure between species are due to changes in the development of these neuromeres.
