anterior–posterior axis

anterior–posterior axis The anterior–posterior axis is the front-to-back direction along which the central nervous system is organized into segmental units called neuromeres.

The anterior–posterior axis is the front-to-back direction along which the central nervous system is organized into segmental units called neuromeres. In the source, changes along this axis are described as region-specific, with more anterior segments progressively differing from more posterior ground-state segments in their neural stem cells, lineages, and resulting neuromere size.
