		The two sides of the brain communicate via the corpus callosum, but the two sides are essentially separate entities with brain tissue surrounding a central fluid filled chamber, the lateral ventricle, on each side.
		Holoprosencephaly is the absence or incomplete cleavage of the forebrain (prosencephalon) into the two cerebral hemispheres.
		This process usually takes place during the third week of fetal life.

		The structure of the early prosencephalon closely resembles the early neural tube i.e., thick lateral walls are connected by thinner floor and roof plates.
		The early prosencephalon develops an ocular cup from its ventrolateral walls in the position of the future diencephalon.
		In the 5th week, when the embryo reaches the 7 mm stage, the simple plan of the prosencephalon changes; paired telencephalic vesicles and the diencephalon begin to form; the optic cup continues its development.

		Holoprosencephaly is a complex intracranial abnormality characterized by absent or incomplete cleavage of the Prosencephalon (1).From a genetic point of view all holoprosencephalies have the same significance.
		Their frequency is estimated at 1 in 16,000 to 1 in 18,000 births (2).Holoprosencephalies have a heterogenous cause; chromosomal aberration is found in about one half of the cases.
		Recurrence risk after an isolated case of holoprosencephaly with normal chromosome is 5-6% (3).During the fourth gestational week, the neural tube forms three primary brain vesicles: the prosencephalon, mesencephalon and rhombencephalon.

		First, the whole neural tube will differentiate into its two major subdivisions: spinal cord (caudal) and brain (rostral).
		Consecutively, the brain will differentiate into brainstem and prosencephalon.
		Later, the brainstem will subdivide into rhombencephalon and mesencephalon, and the prosencephalon into diencephalon and telencephalon.

	Otx1 and Otx2 in the development and evolution of the mammalian brain
		In wild-type embryos, at 8.5 d.p.c., the expression patterns of Otx2, Wnt-1 and En-1 define broader regions corresponding to the prosencephalon and mesencephalon (Otx2), mesencephalon (Wnt-1) and posterior mesencephalon and rostral rhomboencephalon (En-1), while Fgf-8 expression identifies the isthmic primordium.
		Interestingly, at 12.5 d.p.c., the secondary prosencephalon expresses mesencephalic markers such as En-1 and Wnt-1 even though the expression of prosencephalic markers is retained.

		Pathogenesis: Failure of cleavage of the prosencephalon which gives rise to the cerebral hemispheres and diencephalon during early first trimester (5-6 weeks) results in a single primitive monoventricle, fused basal ganglia, absence of corpus callosum, falx cerebri, optic tracts, and olfactory bulbs.
		Associated anomalies: The facial anomalies include a broad spectrum of defects due to median central structure aplasia or hypoplasia: extreme hypotelorism or even cyclopia, cebocephaly (a flat nose or a nasal-like tubular appendix [proboscis] with hypotelorism), ethmocephaly (extreme hypotelorism with arhinia with proboscis and median cleft palate).
		Holoprosencephaly is a rare central nervous system malformation resulting from absent or incomplete cleavage of the forebrain (prosencephalon) into the two cerebral hemispheres and lateral ventricles.

		The mechanisms by which the prosencephalon splits and the corpus callosum forms is being investigated by looking at those human conditions where these events fail to occur.
		Holoprosencephaly is characterized by the incomplete cleavage of the forebrain (prosencephalon) into right and left hemispheres, into diencephalon and telencephalon, and into olfactory and optic bulbs.
		The third level of holoprosencephalic conditions is cebocephaly, wherein the closely spaced eyes are above a nose with a single nostril (Figure 1D).

	A new developmental compartment in the forebrain regulated by Lunatic fringe - Nature Neuroscience
		We identified a compartment in the avian prosencephalon, whose cell-lineage-restricted borders enclose about one-third of the early prosencephalic vesicle, defining a region that later narrows to form the zona limitans intrathalamica (zli).
		The lack of similarly oriented fringe borders elsewhere in the prosencephalon indicates that the mechanism for forming the zli compartment differs from that for the proposed segmental subdivisions of the forebrain, prosomeres
