Study Notes
Nervous System Development
- Develops from Ectoderm
- Neural plate forms at the caudal end, narrower and gives rise to the spinal cord
- Neural folds rise, and the neural plate "sinks" to form a neural groove
- Folds fuse to complete the neural tube, extending cephalically and caudally
- 2 openings at either end: cranial and caudal neuropores
Neurulation
- Transformation of the neural plate into the neural tube
- Fusion of neural folds at the level of the 4th somite
Neural Crest Cells
- Differentiate into:
- Schwann cells
- Melanocytes
- C-cells (in thyroid gland)
- Medulla of the adrenal gland
- Mesenchyme of the pharyngeal arches
Origin of Nervous System Cells
- Neural crest:
- Pseudounipolar neurons of spinal and cranial sensory ganglia
- Postganglionic neurons of autonomic nervous system
- Glia cells of peripheral nervous system (Schwann cells, satellite cells)
- Neural tube:
- Neurons of CNS
- Glia cells of CNS (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells)
- Mesenchyme:
- Microglia (bone marrow derived)
Development of the Spinal Cord
- Lower part of the neural tube turns into the spinal cord
- Ventricular zone
- Internal limiting membrane
Expansion of the Brain
- Primary brain vesicles:
- Forebrain
- Midbrain
- Hindbrain
- Two flexures:
- Cervical flexure
- Cranial flexure (between hindbrain and spinal cord)
- Secondary brain vesicles:
- Forebrain: Telencephalon, Diencephalon
- Midbrain: remains just midbrain
- Hindbrain: Metencephalon, Myelencephalon
Development of the Telencephalon
- Most rostral of the brain vesicles
- Consists of:
- Cerebral hemispheres (two lateral outpocketings)
- Lamina terminales (a median portion)
- Lateral ventricles: cavities of the hemispheres
Development of the Cerebral Hemispheres
- Arise at the beginning of the 5th week as bilateral evaginations of the lateral wall of the prosencephalon
- Corpus striatum: basal part of the hemispheres begins to grow and bulges into the lumen
- Formation of the hippocampus
- Hemispheres cover the lateral aspect of the diencephalon, mesencephalon, and cephalic portion of the metencephalon
- Continuous growth of the cerebral hemispheres results in the formation of frontal, temporal, and occipital lobes
Development of the Diencephalon
- Rostral part of the roof plate: choroid plexus of the third ventricle
- Caudal part of the roof plate: pineal body
- Alar plates form the lateral walls of the diencephalon
- Thalamus and hypothalamus develop from the median portion of the prosencephalon
Development of the Cortex
- Divides into diencephalic and telencephalic regions
- Ependymal cells and vascular mesenchyme form the choroid plexus of the third ventricle
Defects
- Neural Tube Defects:
- Spina bifida occulta
- Spina bifida cystica
- Meningocele
- Meningomyelocele
- Myeloschisis (rachischisis)
- Cephalus Deffectus:
- Anencephaly
- Meningocele
- Meningoencephalocele
- Meningohydroencephalocele
- Hydrocephalus (internus and externus)
