What structure forms the CNS
Neural Plate
Plate gives rise to the neural tube which becomes
spine and brain
Prosencephalon(forebrain)
Mesencephalon (midbrain)
Rhombencephalon (hindbrain)
3 Primary vesicles of brain

Seen as hypo spaces b/t bone
sutures
Premature fusion of sutures
craniosyntosis
Spaces between the fetal bones are termed
fontanelles
Anterior fontanelle when filled with bone is
