Neural tube information

vertebrates), the neural tube is the embryonic precursor to the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The neural groove gradually...

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are a group of birth defects in which an opening in the spine or cranium remains from early in human development. In the third...

The ends of the neural plate, known as the neural folds, push the ends of the plate up and together, folding into the neural tube, a structure critical...
