Development Flashcards
Determination in development
Neurons are formed
Neurons assume correct positions
Neurons produce primary processes (cell body (soma), axon)
basic neuron
Differentiation in development
the neuron gains unique characteristics for its futurerole
Increasesin size
Producesterminal dendrites
Makesspecific connections *NEURAL CIRCUITS ARE FORMED! Whichis the beginning of the emergence of behavior!
Morphogens
compounds that influence a tissue to become something
part of the dynamic processes of differentiation
Environment and the dynamic process of differentiation
These factors recruitsecond messengersacting within the neurons to influence the specifics of neurondevelopment, circuits and functioning.
NS embryonic development is determined by
Determinedby four weeks
Thus, the NS is vulnerable to insults early in pregnancy
Critical periods
Time in which external influences have thegreatest impact
Critical periods in the NS
Times when axons are competing for synaptic sites. Normal function of neural systems are dependent on appropriate experience during the critical periods
2 weeks – 5months what influences the NS
Abnormal development influenced by drugs, alcohol, folic acid
pre-embryonic stage
One cell> mass of cells > 2-layered embryonic disk (ecto and endo)
Process of development in the NS
make cells, form tissues, cells move& fold to form NS structure
embryonic stage
3-layered embryonic disk
Endoderm, ectoderm, andmesoderm (between the E, key role)
Meso – induces the ectoderm to becomes a NS
GASTRULATION
Formation of 3 layers is Gastrulation
NEURULATION overall
fundamental neural elements are formed
process of differentiating neural elements (neural plate, neural tube, neural crest).
Mesoderm forms the notochord
Cell migration
Primitive streak arises midline - path of migrating cells, cell movement
Appearance of primitive streak starts Gastrulation
Then presence of notochord induces changes in the
ectoderm,part of it becomes neuroectoderm
notochord parts
Neural plate
Neural tube: Spinal cord and brain
Neural crest - PNS
Brian at 4 weeks- vesicles
The rostral end of the neural tube expands to form three vesicles
Forebrain
Midbrain
Hindbrain
Cephalicflexure locations
between the midbrain and the hind brains
the only on flexure seen in the adult brain
3 to 5 vesicles
Telencephalon
Diencephalon
Mesencephalon
Metencephalon
Myelencephalon
Telencephalon becomes
Cerebralhemispheres
Basal ganglia
Diencephalon becomes
Thalamus, hypothalamus
Mesencephalonbecomes
Midbrain
