Early Differentiation Within the first week following
conception, the human embryo has divided into three germ layers: Ectoderm Mesoderm Endoderm
Inducing factors Chemicals which differentiate the ectoderm
layer into skin and nervous tissue.

1. Neurogenesis and 2. Migration
Ventricular zone: A layer of cells that line the inside of the
neural tube, creates new neurons Some daughter cells remain in the
ventricular zone and continue to divide.
Other daughter cells migrate away from the ventricular zone along radial glia.

3. Differentiation
Daughter cells differentiate into neurons or glia.
The neural tube differentiates in two directions:
between the dorsal and ventral halves.
along the rostral-caudal axis.
Both genes (producing chemicals) and different types of input can be responsible for differentiation

4. Synaptogenesis

Growth Cones Respond to External Cues

A Synapse Is Formed

5. Apoptosis
Significant numbers of new neurons die during the development process.
Neurons appear to compete for nerve growth factors (NGF), and those that fail to obtain this stimulation die.
Synapses follow a similar pattern of overproduction followed by "pruning."

Visual Synapses Peak at 1 Year of Age

5. Myelination
Myelination occurs from the spinal cord rostrally towards the forebrain.
Sensory systems are myelinated before motor systems.
Although the majority of myelination occurs very early in childhood, human myelination is not complete until about the age of 20 years.

Experience Affects Development
Plasticity Ability of nervous system to change
Critical period Segment of time during development
in which experience can change system; after this time, experience causes little or no change in system

Disorders of Development As the neural tube closes early in
development, mistakes may occur, leading to spina bifida and anencephaly.
Genetic disorders affecting development include trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, fragile X and phenylketonuria.
Environmental toxins, including alcohol, tobacco and other legal and illegal substances, can interfere with the normal course of development.
