Neurulation is the process of forming a neural tube from a neural plate. The neural plate is derived from the neuroectoderm of blastula embryos 1. In the neurula embryo, both lateral sides of the ...

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly. Georgia Tech physicists are now helping explain why this happens, having ...

Quails are small, plump birds that scurry through grasslands on foot rather than take to the skies. Unexpectedly, studying these ground-dwellers has helped scientists uncover clues about a type of ...

An increasing number of experimental studies have shown striking similarities between early embryonic cells and tumor cells in gene and protein expression, metabolic pathways, and important biological ...

In all species, brain function relies on an intricate network of connections that allows neurons to send information back and forth between one another, commanding thought and physical activity. But ...
