This structure will induce formation of the neural plate and underlie the neural tube

What is the notochord?

100

the telencephalon turns into these adult brain structures

What is the cerebrum?

100

neural crest cells migrate away from the neural tube to form these structures (be very general)

What are ganglia and other special tissues?

100

neuroblasts form the mantle layer around the neuroepithelial cells that will ultimately become this structure

What is gray matter?

100

spinal nerves are formed by these structures

What are processes from dorsal and ventral nerve roots?

200

closure of the anterior and caudal neuropore is highly dependent on availability of this substance 

What is folic acid?

200

the mesencephalon turns into these adult brain structures

What is the midbrain of the brainstem?

200

this is the origin of neural crest cells

What are the neural folds?

200

gliablasts will ultimately become these cells

What are astrocytes and oligodendrocytes?

200

the pituitary gland is derived from these two structures

What is Rathke's pouch and the infundibulum?

300

TGF-B is an important signaling molecule in this type of differentiation

What is longitudinal differentiation?

*BONUS: What is longitudinal differentiation?

300

the metencephalon turns into these adult brain structures

What is the pons of the brainstem and the cerebellum?

300

name three cells that are derived from neural crest cells

300

microglial cells come from this cell lineage

What is the mesenchymal cell lineage?

300

The alar plate and basal plate of the myelencephalon (medulla) ultimately have two different functions. These are those functions.

alar plate => sensory (dorsal and lateral)

Basal plate => motor (ventral and medial)

Around day 28, the neural tube is divided into three parts, the prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon, which are known as the primary ventricles. The primary ventricles further differentiate into secondary ventricles known as....

prosencephalon => telencepalon & diencephalon 

mesencephalon => mesencephalon 

rhombencephalon => metencephalon & myelecephalon 

400

the myelencephalon turns into these adult brain structures

What is the medulla of the brainstem?

400

It is important to differentiate between derivatives from the neural tube vs the neural crest. These are the three main structures that are derived from the neural tube.

What are 

1. CNS neurons and supporting cells

2. motor neurons of PNS

3. presynaptic autonomic neurons 

400

The marginal layer will contain nerve fibers emerging from neuroblasts that will become this structure

What is white matter?

400
In the metencephalon, cells from the neruoepithelium migrate to the surface to form the external granular layer which is made up of this cell type

What are Purkinji cells?

500

transverse differentiation is also dependent on signaling systems, these are the signaling pathways important for dorsal vs ventral pattterning

Wnt, BMP for dorsal patterning

Shh for ventral patterning 

500

The secondary brain vesicles turn into which adult neural canal regions? 

telencephalon = lateral ventricles

diencephalon = third ventricle

mesencephalon = cerebral aquaduct

metencephalon & myelencephalon = fourth ventricle 

500

neural crest cells that do not migrate and stay near the neural crest become this structure

What is the DRG?

500

this is the initial shape of neuroblasts

What is round and apolar?

500

the roof plate of the diencephalon gives rise to this structure where as the base give rise to this structure.

roof = choroid plexus 

base = hypothalamus
