I believe it encloses a section of the spinal cord ( the spinal axis)
Nervous Tissue
central nervous system, spinal cord
Information from the peripheral nervous system is carried to the central nervous system by neural cables called nerves. The work groups that neurons cluster into are known as neural networks.
Neurons
They act as the hearts of annelids (segmented worms)
Central neural mechanisms of emotion involve brain regions such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, which control emotional responses and regulation. Peripheral neural mechanisms involve the autonomic nervous system and hormonal processes that influence physiological changes in response to emotions, like changes in heart rate or sweating. Together, these mechanisms work in concert to generate and regulate emotional responses in the brain and body.
Neural means "of or relating to the nerves, neurons, or nervous system".
The neural tube is the part of the development of the central nervous system in a developing embryo. What is pretty amazing about this is that within the first 4 weeks of development from conception, the entire framework of the central nervous system will have finished forming! Around day 18, the neural plate appears at the midline of the thickening of the ectoderm, the outermost layer of the germinal sac. Essentially what happens over the next couple of days is that the neural plate forms a depression, which eventually is pushed down and separated from the original cell layer by the fusion of the neural crests, resulting in the formation of a neural tube - this is rather hard to explain without a proper diagram!
In the embryo the neural tube forms the central nervous system in the fetus, which is the brain and spinal cord. The reason pregnant women are given folic acid supplementation is to help prevent neural tube defects, which can range from fairly benign all the way to anencephaly (where the baby is born without a brain).
Neural coding refers to the pathways and transformations needed to relay sensory information into the nervous system.
They are found in the Brain and Spinal Cord. They pretty much are located there because The Spinal cord and Brain are major spots where the nervous system works.
Yes. The neural tube is a long, hollow structure that extends about the full length of the developing embryo. The tube itself gives rise to both components of the central nervous system (CNS): the brain and the spinal cord.
