This document contains a bibliography listing references related to the development of the brain and neural structures in various vertebrate and invertebrate species, including mice, frogs, lampreys, and zebrafish. The references cover topics such as gene expression patterns, brain regionalization, organization of subdivisions in the diencephalon and hypothalamus, and the evolution of the basal ganglia and forebrain connectivity across tetrapods. Most references are journal articles, but one web page is also included.
