  UNSW Embryology- Neural System Development
Neural development is one of the earliest to begin and the last to be complete, generating the most complex structure within the embryo.
Development of the neural system continues throughout our entire life, from the early trilaminar embryo, through embryonic, fetal, newborn, postnatally and continues to be remodelled at the synaptic level.
Note that the edge of the neural plate forms the neural crest which contributes the cranial ganglia, peripheral sympathetic and parasympatheic nervous system as well as many non-neural tissues (this part of the nervous system is covered in Neural crest Notes).

  Modeling Neural Development
This is one of the first books to study neural development using computational and mathematical modeling.
Most neural modeling focuses on information processing in the adult nervous system; Modeling Neural Development shows how models can be used to study the development of the nervous system at different levels of organization and at different phases of development, from molecule to system and from neurulation to cognition.
The science of studying neural development by computational and mathematical modeling is relatively new; this book, as Dale Purves writes in the foreword, "serves as an important progress report" in the effort to understand the complexities of neural development.

 Neural development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The study of neural development draws on both neuroscience and developmental biology to describe the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which complex nervous systems emerge during embryonic development and throughout life.
Neural activity and sensory experience will mediate formation of new synapses, as well as synaptic plasticity, which will be responsible for refinement of the nascent neural circuits.
This is evidenced by a thickening of the ectoderm above the notochord, the neural plate.

The neural crest is a fascinating transient, migratory population of cells found in all vertebrate embryos.
Neural crest cells are induced at the border between the neural plate and the surrounding prospective epidermis.
Interactions between the neural plate and the epidermis have been able to recreate this intermediate level of BMP activity required for the specification of the neural plate border.

 ScienceDaily: Making A Face: A New And Earlier Marker Of Neural Crest Development
The neural crest is a population of stem cells that migrate extensively during development and give rise to many derivatives, including most of the bone and cartilage of the head skeleton, pigment cells of the skin, and cells of the peripheral nervous system.
While it was known that the ability to form neural crest cells declines after "stage 10," the researchers were seeking the earliest conditions surrounding formation of these important stem cells.

 General Neural Development
From the established ectoderm layer of the gastrula, neural tissue is derived by a series of tissue inductions, movements, and differentiations.
The notochord (derived from the mesoderm) is the primary inducer of the neural plate.
During the development of the embryo, these ES cells differentiate into a variety of cell lineages which eventually give rise to the multiple types of mature cells of the adult nervous system (see photo below).

 Neural crest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The neural crest, a component of the ectoderm, is one of several ridgelike clusters of cells found on either side of the neural tube in vertebrate embryos.
Into the optic vesicle and the developing eye and contributes to many anterior eye elements such the cornea, lens, and ciliary muscle.
In humans, the cells actually migrate from the lateral margins of the neural tube however the use of 'crest cells' in this regard is retained.

 Neural Development
The adult sea urchin develops as a rudiment on one side of the larval body.
The adult radial nerves form with the primary podia in the rudiment and are joined at their proximal ends by a series of commisures that form the circumoral nerve ring.
Analysis of the sea urchin genome has revealed a large number of genes that mediate neural specification and patterning and promise to provide a means of testing specific hypotheses about urchin neural development.

 Nonlinearities from dynamical structures in EEG modelling
The aim of this paper is to introduce concepts of coupled nonlinear systems to assist in the explanation of neural development and dissociation in response to early childhood trauma.
However, a potential is identified to develop a mathematically grounded approach for understanding neural development in response to trauma and the associated possible therapeutic requirements to change 'scars' in the neural system.
In the case of trauma, recursive circular loops develop which become perpetuating and irresolvable due to the initial inadequacies in the infant's neural landscape.

 Interactive Fly, Drosophila
However, it seems that Mash2 is not required for development of labyrinthine trophoblast or giant cells, since high contributions of Mash2 mutant cells are observed in those trophoblast cell layers in the chimeric placentae analyzed.
The factors needed for these structures to develop include the transcription factor Mash1, the glial-derived neurotrophic factor GNDF and its receptor subunits, and the neuregulin signaling system, each of which is essential for the differentiation and survival of subsets of autonomic neurons.
Thus, a homolog of Drosophila neural fate determination genes seems to be necessary for progression of lung epithelial cells through a neuroendocrine differentiation pathway that is a feature of small-cell lung cancer, the most lethal form of human lung cancer (Borges, 1997).

 Cornell News: Brain development
Knowing precisely how development in rodent brains can be translated to other species, the researchers hope, might reduce the number of higher animals required for research and should make transgenic mice an even more valuable animal model in biomedical research.
And because brain (neural) development milestones are remarkably consistent in mammals, the researchers' mathematical model is able to fill in the blanks in one species, Homo sapiens, where experimentation is unthinkable.
Although their rather unwieldy bodies might disguise it, the model shows that the brains of human infants are relatively developed at birth.

 Sokol Lab. Early neural development .
Several signaling pathways, triggered by bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP), fibroblast growth factors (FGF) and Wnt proteins were implicated in early neural development in vertebrates, however, underlying molecular mechanisms are not understood in sufficient detail.
The involvement of Frodo in organizer formation and organizer-specific gene expression is supported by deficient head development in Frodo-depleted embryos (Hikasa and Sokol, 2004).
Moreover, targeted depletion of Frodo in neuroectoderm prevented activation of the neural markers Sox2 and Nrp1 at both neural plate and neural tube stages (Hikasa and Sokol, 2004) (Fig.

They have identified and characterized many genes responsible for specific aspects of nervous system development, including the control of neuroblast cell division, the determination of neuronal cell fate, the choice between survival and programmed cell death (apoptosis), axonal outgrowth, and neurotransmitter expression.
They use laser microsurgery, pharmacology, and mutations to identify which neurons control specific behaviors and to define complete neural systems responsible for specific behaviors.
For example, they have analyzed how the environment and experience modulate the locomotory rate of C. elegans and have discovered that the animal's serotonergic nervous system plays a central role in its response to its experience.
