A small thickening, running the length of the embryo, from which the neural tube and, eventually, the nervous system, develop.
A thickened strip of ectoderm along the dorsal side of the early vertebrate embryo; gives rise to the central nervous system.
part of the ectoderm which sinks below the surface of the developing vertebrate embryo and forms the neural tube
The tissue on the dorsal surface of the vertebrate embryo that develops in the nervous system.
Group of cells along the back of the embryo which form the nervous system.
neuralis - nerve]. A median, dorsal thickening of ectoderm from which the neural tube and neural crest will develop. Synonym: medullary plate.
The earliest form of brain tissue, present in the developing embryo for just a few days in the third week after conception.
The portion of ectoderm overlying the notochord, containing cells that will give rise to the nervous system during further embryonic development.
In human embryology, formation of neural plate is the first step of neurulation. It is created by a flat thickening opposite to the primitive streak.
