Animal clade containing chordates and protostomes
Centroneuralia is a proposed clade of animals with bilateral symmetry as an embryo, consisting of the Chordata and Protostomia , united by the presence of a central nervous system . An alternative to the traditional protostome-deuterostome dichotomy, it has found weak support in several studies. Under this hypothesis, Centroneuralia would be sister to Xenambulacraria (Xenacoelomorpha + Ambulacraria ) at the base of Bilateria .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Centroneuralia, as a proposed clade, originates in phylogenomics . More precisely, recent studies correlate support for Deuterostomia with simpler, site-homogeneous models, while more sophisticated and site-heterogeneous models recover Centroneuralia more often.[ 1]
