Neural crest cells have been thought to originate in the ectoderm, the outermost of the three germ layers formed in the earliest stages of embryonic development. But their capacity to form derivatives ...

One of the key controllers of neural development seems to depend on a simple cellular decision -- whether to divide perpendicularly or in parallel to the embryonic structure called the neuroepithelium ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...
