Hypothesis for head patterning by BMP signaling. A currently unknown, BMP-dependent timer is running during head patterning. The timer can be fixed by anti-BMP signals and regulates the expression of anterior genes: xcg-1, six3, otx2, gbx2, and hoxd1, resulting in the head being progressively patterned.
