  2. 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 ...

  3. List of regions in the human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_in_the...

    Embryonic vertebrate subdivisions of the developing human brain hindbrain or rhombencephalon is a developmental categorization of portions of the central nervous system in vertebrates. It includes the medulla , pons , and cerebellum .

  4. Neural tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_tube

    The internally located neural tube; The externally located epidermis; The neural crest cells, which develop in the region between the neural tube and epidermis but then migrate to new locations; Primary neurulation begins after the neural plate forms. The edges of the neural plate start to thicken and lift upward, forming the neural folds.

  5. Epidermis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidermis

    The epidermis is the outermost of the three layers that comprise the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis. [1] The epidermal layer provides a barrier to infection from environmental pathogens [2] and regulates the amount of water released from the body into the atmosphere through transepidermal water loss.

  6. Apical ectodermal ridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apical_ectodermal_ridge

    The apical ectodermal ridge (AER) is a structure that forms from the ectodermal cells at the distal end of each limb bud and acts as a major signaling center to ensure proper development of a limb. After the limb bud induces AER formation, the AER and limb mesenchyme —including the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA)—continue to communicate ...

  7. Middle frontal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_frontal_gyrus

    The middle frontal gyrus makes up about one-third of the frontal lobe of the human brain. (A gyrus is one of the prominent "bumps" or "ridges" on the cerebral cortex.. The middle frontal gyrus, like the inferior frontal gyrus and the superior frontal gyrus, is more of a region in the frontal gyrus than a true gyrus.

  8. Brodmann area 46 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_46

    BA46 is known as middle frontal area 46. In the human brain it occupies approximately the middle third of the middle frontal gyrus and the most rostral portion of the inferior frontal gyrus . Brodmann area 46 roughly corresponds with the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), although the borders of area 46 are based on cytoarchitecture rather ...

  9. Brain terrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_terrain

    Brain terrain, also called knobs-brain coral and brain coral terrain, is a feature of the Martian surface, consisting of complex ridges found on lobate debris aprons, lineated valley fill and concentric crater fill. It is so named because it suggests the ridges on the surface of the human brain.
