Abstract
ABSTRACT
The organogenesis of the central nervous system (CNS) begins during the third week of development, but its maturation requires a considerably long period of time until after birth. Therefore the developing nervous system is vulnerable to the deleterious effects of environmental factors during the pre- and perinatal periods. In addition, molecular studies have revealed various gene mutations that are responsible for congenital CNS disorders. This chapter provides an overview of the prenatal development of the human brain and spinal cord.
