Neurula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Neurula is an embryo at the early stage of development in which neurulation occurs.
Neurulation is the development of the nervous system in the embryo, at the thickened area above the notochord in ectoderms. The neural plate will fold to produce the neural tube which will develop into the brain. Remaining tissue will develop into the spinal cord.
