In the vertebrate embryo, a rhombomere is a transiently divided segment of the developing neural tube, within the hindbrain region (a neuromere) in the area that will eventually become the rhombencephalon. The rhombomeres appear as a series of slightly constricted swellings in the neural tube, caudal to the cephalic flexure. In human embryonic dev...

Regulatory genes have been shown to be expressed in patterns in the developing hindbrain that relate to the neuromeric or segmentation pattern.
