In the developing chordate (including vertebrates), 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 groove into a closed tube, th....

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.
