Prosencephalic Development

Introduction

  • Prosencephalon (forebrain) development occurs 3–5 weeks post-conception (p/c).
  • Neural tube at rostral end forms three primary vesicles:
    1. Prosencephalon (forebrain): Telencephalon + Diencephalon
    2. Mesencephalon (midbrain)
    3. Rhombencephalon (hindbrain): Metencephalon + Myelencephalon
  • Formation of three flexures:
    • Mesencephalic (midbrain)
    • Pontine (hindbrain)
    • Cervical (junction hindbrain/spinal cord)
