Historic Disclaimer - information about historic embryology pages

Pages where the terms "Historic" (textbooks, papers, people, recommendations) appear on this site, and sections within pages where this disclaimer appears, indicate that the content and scientific understanding are specific to the time of publication. This means that while some scientific descriptions are still accurate, the terminology and interpretation of the developmental mechanisms reflect the understanding at the time of original publication and those of the preceding periods, these terms, interpretations and recommendations may not reflect our current scientific understanding.     (More?

Table below is based on data from this reference.

Human Embryonic Ventricular Timeline

Week	Carnegie Stage	Event
Week 4	11	appearance of the optic ventricle. The neural groove/tube space is initially filled with amniotic fluid.
	12	closure of the caudal neuropore, onset of the ventricular system and separates the ependymal from the amniotic fluid.
	13	cavity of the telencephalon medium is visible.
Week 5	14	cerebral hemispheres and lateral ventricles begin, rhomboid fossa becomes apparent.
	15	medial and lateral ventricular eminences cause indentations in the lateral ventricle
Week 6	16	hypothalamic sulcus is evident.
	17 - 18	interventricular foramina are becoming relatively smaller, and cellular accumulations indicate the future choroid villi of the fourth and lateral ventricles.
Week 7	18	areae membranaceae rostralis and caudalis are visible in the roof of the fourth ventricle, and the paraphysis is appearing.
	19	choroid villi are visible in the fourth ventricle, and a mesencephalic evagination (blindsack) is visible
Week 8	20	choroid villi are visible in the lateral ventricle.
	21	olfactory ventricle is visible.
	21 - 23	lateral ventricle has become C-shaped (anterior and inferior horns visible). Recesses develop in the third ventricle (optic, infundibular, pineal).
