In vertebrate embryos, the process of neurulation, which transforms a flat neural plate into a three-dimensionally patterned tube, relies on a sequence of morphogenetic events that are tightly ...

Researchers have conducted a detailed study of neurulation -- how the neural tube forms during embryonic development. They conclude that this happens less actively than previously thought. This also ...

In the human embryo, the neural tube forms between the 22nd and 26th day of pregnancy. Later, the brain and spinal cord will develop from this tube. The neural tube forms when an elongated flat tissue ...
