Presentation Transcript

  1. Prenatal Brain Development and Organization

  2. Formation of Neural Tube • Three primordial tissues • endoderm • mesoderm • ectoderm • Which tissue does nervous system develop from? • ectoderm

  3. Neural crest

  4. Neural crest

  5. Neural Tube Related Birth Defects Anterior neural pore failure to close = anencephaly Posterior neural pore failure to close = spina bifida

  6. Neural crest becomes peripheral nervous system (PNS) • Neural tube becomes central nervous system (CNS) • Somites become spinal vertebrae. Somites

  7. Prosencephalon or forebrain Mesencephalon or midbrain Rhombencephalon or hindbrain Three-vesicle stage (Week 4)

  8. Five-vesicle stage mesencephalon metencephalon myelencephalon 4 weeks 6 weeks

  9. Differentiation of Forebrain

  10. Human Brain at Birth 14 Years Old 6 Years Old

  11. A lot can go wrong. • Rate of neurogenesis incredibly rapid. • Failure to form appropriate connections may be basis of many neurological and psychiatric disorders.
