Introduction
Neural development is one of the earliest systems to begin and the last to be completed after birth. This development generates the most complex structure within the embryo and the long time period of development means in utero insult during pregnancy may have consequences to development of the nervous system.
Differences between birds and mammals:
- both - have retinal axons projecting topographically to targets in the brain.
- birds - the visual fibers from the entire retina decussate at the optic chiasm.
- mammals - some axons from the temporal retina diverge at the midline to project ipsilaterally.
Neural development beginnings quite early, therefore also look at notes covering Week 3- neural tube and Week 4-early nervous system. Development of the neural crest and sensory systems (hearing/vision/smell) are only introduced in these notes and are covered in other notes sections.

Developmental Signaling Model
Model of interaction of Meis2, Pax3 and Pax7 during dorsal midbrain development. [3]
Development Overview
Neuralation begins at the trilaminar embryo with formation of the notochord and somites, both of which underly the ectoderm and do not contribute to the nervous system, but are involved with patterning its initial formation. The central portion of the ectoderm then forms the neural plate that folds to form the neural tube, that will eventually form the entire central nervous system.

Pax
Model of molecular interactions during dorsal midbrain development[3] |
Model for a possible cooperation of Meis2, Pax3, Pax7 and Otx2 during tectal development.
Red lines indicate negative regulation, green arrows positive regulation. Dashed lines indicate hypothetical direct regulation of the Meis2 promoter/enhancer by different Pax3 concentrations. Solid lines indicate indirect regulation of Meis2 expression via Pax3/7 mediated induction of Fgf8 as previously reported: |
Drebrin
Optic tectum (chicken) actin-binding protein, with two major isoforms (A, E) produced by alternative splicing from a single DBN1 gene, isoform conversion occurs in parallel with synaptogenesis.[5]
- drebrin E - (5q35.3) widespread but not ubiquitous cell types in various tissues.
- drebrin A - adult brain neuron-specific, concentrated in dendritic spines, and its accumulation level is regulated by synaptic activity.
- OMIM: DBN1 drebrin E
