Abstract
The RIKEN Centre for Developmental Biology recently hosted a joint UK-Asian Pacific Developmental Biology Network meeting called 'Development and Emergence of Function in the Nervous System'. The meeting's program, which was organized by James Briscoe and Krishnaswamy VijayRaghavan, covered a spectrum of processes and mechanisms in neurodevelopment, ranging from the patterning of neural tissue to the initiation of a functional nervous system. One idea to have emerged during this meeting is that 'form underlies function'. Here we discuss some of the themes that were addressed and provide a broad impression of what was a highly stimulating and successful conference.
