Neuromeres are morphologically or molecularly defined transient segments of the early developing brain. Rhombomeres are such segments that make up the rhombencephalon or hindbrain. More controversially, some argue that there exist early developmental segments that give rise to structures of the midbrain (mesomeres) and forebrain (prosomeres). Neuromeres are the segments of the neural tube that establish the embryonic brain during development.〔(& Carstens ) Ewigs, Ember L and Michale H.

Neuromeres were first discovered in the beginning of the 20th century.〔() Nieuwenhuys, Rudolf. “The Structural, Functional, and Molecular Organization of the Brainstem”.
