Description:
Article The evolutionary origin of the peripheral nervous systems (PNSs) is poorly understood. Here, the authors show that two mechanisms activate gene circuits in ascidians to differentiate epidermal sensory neurons, which suggests that vertebrate PNSs arose via cooption of the ancient PNS gene circuit.
