INTRODUCTION Development of the Nervous System – mechanisms by which CNS and PNS develops. > Brain is the first part of the body to develop. Any defect in the CNS will result to irreversible damage. > Brain cells/ neurons does not regenerate. > Week 3 post conception: development of CNS Gestational Age - Commonly used in clinical practice, beginning with the first day of the last menstrual period (Preterm, term, post-term) - Usually, the number of menstrual or gestational weeks exceeds the number of post fertilization weeks by 2. - Neural tube: anterior and posterior - Age(days) 23-25: Closure of anterior tube usually happens. Anterior gives rise to the brain. A maldevelopment results to anencephaly. PREPARED AND EDITED BY: TRANS GROUP 6  (003) DEVELOPMENT OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM DR. J. VIADO | 09/30/2020 - Age(days) 25-28: If the mother got sick with viral infection or took some abortifacient, the posterior neuropore closure will be affected resulting to meningocele, tethered cord syndrome, etc. - Congenital malformation may be explained through the development of the nervous system (ex. Nasoethmoidal meningocele- maybe casued by the mother having viral infection or taking medication during pregancy) III. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM A. Embryogenesis Sperm cell and egg cell meet forms Totipotent cells, Blastomers, ZYGOTE Multiple Cell divisions without growing through a process called CLEAVAGE forms a MORULA formation of BLASTOCYST EMBRYOBLAST AND TROPHOBLAST Embryoblast HYPOBLAST AND EPIBLAST Hypoblast forms ENDODERM Epiblast forms ECTODERM – where Nervous system is derived Trophoblast CYTOTROPHOBLAST, SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLAST Week 01 of fertilization: During the trophoblast and embryoblast time, it will attach to endometrium. EMBRYOGENESIS PROCESS 1. The process of embryogenesis begins with an egg or ovum being FERTILIZED by a sperm cell to form a ZYGOTE. The zygote is surrounded by a strong membrane made up of glycoproteins, which the sperm has managed to penetrate. The zygote is formed 24 hours after the egg and sperm nuclei B. GASTRULATION fuse.

The blastocyst moves towards the womb, -the middle layer which gives rise to the muscle, where it implants in the lining. Blastocyst connective tissues and the vascular system will then give rise to Embryoblasts (inner cell mass) and Trophoblasts GASTRULATION PROCESS (outer layer). 1. By the end of the SECOND WEEK of 5.

Throughout gastrulation, the ECTODERM continues to form the cranial to the caudal end of the embryo, establishing THREE DISTINCT PRIMARY GERM LAYERS throughout the whole embryonic disc, completing the gastrulation process.

Neuroectodermal tissues differentiate from the ectoderm and thicken into the neural plate. The neural plate border separates the ectoderm from the neural plate. 2. The neural plate bends dorsally, with the two ends eventually joining at the neural plate borders, which are now referred to as the neural crest. 3. The closure of the neural tube disconnects the neural crest from the epidermis. Neural crest cells differentiate to form most of the peripheral nervous system.

The notochord degenerates and only persists as the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral discs. Other mesoderm cells differentiate into the somites, the precursors of the axial and skeletal muscles. (Due to some action of the notochord, the neural plate will become the neural groove, it will close then become the neural tube.) In summary, neurulation occurs during the third week of embryonic development. The transformation of the neural plate into a neural tube marks the beginning of the formation of the Central Nervous System. A neural plate of thickened cells forms in a cranial to caudal direction. The lateral edges of the neural plate elevate and fuse to form the neural tube Neural crest cells contribute to the formation of the Peripheral Nervous System.
