Brain development

was changed:
Brain development occurs from the three vesicles of the embryo's neural tube.
- prosencephalon/forebrain
- mesencephalon/midbrain
- rhombencephalon/hindbrain
By approximately 4.5 to 5 menstrual weeks, the primitiveneural plate has developed. The neural plate then divides into theneural crest and theneural tube. The neural tube differentiates into theprimitive brain and thespinal cord.
At about 7 to 8 menstrual weeks, the primary vesicles of the brain are formed and can be recognized with endovaginal sonography.
The forebrain further separates into the telencephalon (cerebrum) and diencephalon(thalamus and related structures).
The midbrain links the diencephalon and telecephalon to the rest of the brainstem.
The hindbrain further divides into the metencephalon (pons and cerebellum) and myelencephalon (medulla oblongata)
