Abstract
The vertebrate nervous system arises from a pseudostratified epithelium, the neural plate, that is formed from the dorsal ectoderm of the embryo. Development of the nervous system is marked by a number of morphological events that involve first the induction of “neural tissue”, and then the patterning and refinement of cell fate within this neural tissue. The end result of these morphogenetic events is the generation of topologically defined classes of neurons each with distinct patterns of interconnections and neurotransmitter phenotypes, together with various glial cell types and other accessory cells such as the ependymal cells that line the meninges.
