## Abstract The oral cirri of amphioxus function as the first filter during feeding by eliminating unwanted large or noxious particulates. In this study, we were able to regenerate cirri following artificial amputation. This is the first firm observation of regeneration in amphioxus. Using this reg
Cranial sensory placodes are specialised areas of the head ectoderm of vertebrate embryos that contribute to the formation of the cranial sense organs and associated ganglia. Placodes are often considered a vertebrate innovation, and their evolution has been hypothesised as one key adaptation underl
