Neural Development

Neural development comprises the processes that generate, shape, and reshape the nervous system, from the earliest stages of embryogenesis to the final years of life.

  • Neural plasticity
  • Neurogenesis
  • Neuroregeneration

Eye development
  • Neural tube: Optic vesicle
  • Optic stalk
  • Optic cup
  • Surface ectoderm: Lens placode
Auditory development
  • Otic placode
    • Otic pit
    • Otic vesicle
note: NS is mostly ectoderm, but mesoderm is precursor for epineurium, perineurium, and endoneurium

Famous quotes containing the word development:

    “For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
    —Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
