8. Neural Tube
   A cylindrical structure that is formed in the first six weeks of fetal development and will form the spinal cord and brain. There are four separate sections of the neural tube that will develop into different parts of the central nervous system. If the neural tube does not form properly, neural tube defects can occur. Narrower term(s): Neural ...

9. Neural Tube
   The neural tube is the structure in mammalian embryos that develops into the brain and spinal cord. Incomplete development results in neural-tube defects, such as spina bifida, in a newborn baby.

12. Neural tube
    In the developing vertebrate, the `neural tube` is the embryo`s precursor to the central nervous system, which comprises the brain and spinal cord. The neural groove gradually deepens as the neural folds become elevated, and ultimately the folds meet and coalesce in the middle line and convert the g...
