Neurulation is a well-known morphogenetic event of embryonic development that has important clinical consequences. The failure of neural tube closure leads to a group of common and severe ...

Neurulation is the process in which the neural plate, a flat structure of ectodermal tissue in the vertebrate embryo, folds to form the neural tube, a hollow tube that gives rise to the brain and ...

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 ...

Neural tube defects, such as Spina bifida, are one of the leading congenital disorders (affecting about one in 1,000 live births worldwide) and are associated with the junctional neurulation. Though ...
