Neural Plate

The flat layer of embryonic ectodermal cells that develops into the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord.

Neural Fold

Embryonic structure that folds to form the neural tube, which later develops into the central nervous system in vertebrates.

Thalamus

The part of the vertebrate brain that serves as a main relay center, transmitting information between the spinal cord and the cerebrum.
