Neural tube development: is a critical process in early embryonic development, leading to the formation of the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. The process, known as neurulation, involves several stages and is essential for the proper development of the nervous system. Ventricular Zone: is a region in the developing brain, specifically in the neural tube, where neural progenitor cells (which give rise to neurons and glial cells) are located Migration: in the context of neuroscience and developmental biology refers to the process by which neurons and other cells move from their place of origin to their final locations in the developing brain and spinal cord. This is a critical aspect of neurogenesis, the formation of the nervous system, and it occurs after the formation of the neural tube.
