Study Notes
Neurulation
- The formation of the neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, begins in the early stages of development.
- A signal triggers the thickening of the ectoderm, the outermost layer of the developing embryo.
- This thickened ectoderm forms the neural plate.
- The specific region of the ectoderm that forms the neural plate is called neuroectoderm.
- The rest of the ectoderm becomes the surface ectoderm.
- The neural plate's borders converge to create neural folds.
- The neural folds rise and eventually meet, sealing to form the neural tube.

Description
This quiz covers the critical stages of neurulation, including the formation of the neural tube that develops into the brain and spinal cord. It examines the thickening of the ectoderm and the creation of the neural plate and neural folds. Test your understanding of this essential developmental process.
