Hi!
I'm Erica Vera Villegas, and I'm a member of Group 11 (Ranoso, Riva, Villegas). Our group would like to congratulate you on a very thorough yet easy-to-understand report on Hemichordate neurulation and the origin of the neural tube.

Here are our questions:
1.) You mentioned that prominent vacuoles and a collagenous sheath are necessary for the notochord to operate as a hydrostatic axial skeleton; could you explain why?
2.) You also highlighted the two challenges encountered in the research; what do these challenges imply? How will these challenges influence/affect future research about hemichordate neurulation?
