primary neural tube formation

Go to external page http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0014020


The formation of the neural tube from an epithelial cell sheet (the neuroepithelium or neural plate). In primary neurulation, the cells surrounding the neural plate direct the neural plate cells to proliferate, invaginate, and pinch off from the surface to form a hollow epithelial tube. Primary neurulation is the typical mechanism of formation of the anterior neural tube. [ https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=bn%3A0878932585 ]
