Editor’s summaryHatching of young animals from eggs is often timed to occur under favorable conditions. However, the brain mechanisms underlying the integration of sensory inputs used to determine hatching time and the neuronal circuits involved in hatching remain elusive. Gajbhiye et al. studied hatching in teleosts, showing that the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (Trh) is the neuroendocrine factor responsible for triggering hatching (see the Perspective by Argenton and Gothilf).
