  2. Neural plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_plate

    The formation and folding of the neural plate is the first step in primary neurulation. This is followed by the refinement and growth of neural plate cells. The third step of primary neurulation does not involve the neural plate per se, but rather the edges of the neural plate, which come together, turning the plate into the start of the neural ...

  3. Neurulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurulation

    The notochordal plate then serves as an anchor for the neural plate and pushes the two edges of the plate upwards while keeping the middle section anchored. Some of the notochodral cells become incorporated into the center section neural plate to later form the floor plate of the neural tube.

  4. Development of the nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_nervous...

    [5] [6] The neural plate is the source of the majority of neurons and glial cells of the CNS. The neural groove forms along the long axis of the neural plate, and the neural plate folds to give rise to the neural tube. [7] This process is known as neurulation. [8] When the tube is closed at both ends it is filled with embryonic cerebrospinal ...

    Beginning in the future neck region, the neural folds of this groove close to create the neural tube. The formation of the neural tube from the ectoderm is called neurulation. The ventral part of the neural tube is called the basal plate; the dorsal part is called the alar plate. The hollow interior is called the neural canal. By the end of the ...

  6. Floor plate (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_plate_(biology)

    The floor plate is a structure integral to the developing nervous system of vertebrate organisms. Located on the ventral midline of the embryonic neural tube, the floor plate is a specialized glial structure that spans the anteroposterior axis from the midbrain to the tail regions.

  7. Neuroepithelial cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroepithelial_cell

    Neuroepithelial cells of the ectoderm begin multiplying rapidly and fold in forming the neural plate, which invaginates during the fourth week of embryonic growth and forms the neural tube. [2] The formation of the neural tube polarizes the neuroepithelial cells by orienting the apical side of the cell to face inward, which later becomes the ...

  8. Neural crest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_crest

    The neural crest is a ridge-like structure that is formed transiently between the epidermal ectoderm and neural plate during vertebrate development. Neural crest cells originate from this structure through the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and in turn give rise to a diverse cell lineage—including melanocytes, craniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle, dentin, peripheral and enteric ...

  9. Neuroectoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroectoderm

    After recruitment from the ectoderm, the neuroectoderm undergoes three stages of development: transformation into the neural plate, transformation into the neural groove (with associated neural folds), and transformation into the neural tube. After formation of the tube, the brain forms into three sections; the hindbrain, the midbrain, and the ...
