  eLife Assessment

  The authors conducted a valuable study that investigates a molecular pathway mediating the transformation of a cell aggregate into a sheet known as the nucleus laminaris, a crucial site for auditory processing. While the study offers a comprehensive view of the sequence of developmental events and suggests possible roles for FGF signaling, the transcription factor Mafb, and the cell surface adhesive molecule Cadherin-23 in this process, the current data were considered incomplete.
