Study Notes
Development of the Nervous System
- Central nervous system (CNS) development involves cellular mechanisms leading to major disorders.
- The brain is the last organ to mature, with significant development beginning in the third week of gestation when both brain and heart are present.
Embryonic Development Stages
- Blastulation: Formation of the blastocyst, which involves cells clustering to form an inner cell mass and a accompanying cavity (blastocoel).
- Gastrulation: Formation of three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm) from the trilaminar disk, with ectoderm originating the nervous system.
Key Structures During Development
- Telencephalon: Develops into cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and hippocampus.
- Diencephalon: Develops into thalamus, hypothalamus, pineal body, and infundibulum.
- Mesencephalon (Midbrain): Comprised of tectum and tegmentum.
- Metencephalon (Hindbrain): Forms pons and cerebellum.
- Myelencephalon: Develops into the medulla oblongata.
Neurulation Process
- Primary neurulation occurs with the dorsal closure of the neural tube, which forms the brain and spinal cord.
- Secondary neurulation forms the sacral and coccygeal segments of the spinal cord.
- Closure occurs at the cranial end between days 22-25 of development, and at the posterior neuropore by day 28.
Clinical Correlation
- Maternal illness on the 23rd day of gestation can disrupt cranial neuropore closure, leading to conditions such as occipital meningocele or hydranencephaly.
Cellular Processes in Development
- Neurogenesis: The formation of neurons from progenitor cells.
- Cell Migration: Movement of newly formed neurons to their target locations.
- Cell Differentiation: Process through which cells become specialized for specific functions.
- Synaptogenesis: Formation of synapses between neurons.
- Neuronal Cell Death (Apoptosis): Natural process of removing excess neurons.
- Synaptic Arrangement: Organization of synapses for effective neural communication.
Structure Development Insights
- The rhombic lip gives rise to the cerebellum during initial brain development.
- The alar plate develops sensory pathways while basal plate develops motor pathways within the developing neural structures.
