Introduction
Neurulation starts happening on the day 20(week 3). The neural plate will start folding along the medial axis and form the neural tube eventually. This will then contribute to brain and part of the spinal cord in the central nervous system. This page will mainly focus the establishment of the neural tube and some other components in the central nervous system in the end of week 3.
Process of neurulation
1. Neural plate formation
2. Neural plate shaping
3. Neural plate bending
4. Neural groove closure
