Researchers have conducted a detailed study of neurulation -- how the neural tube forms during embryonic development. They conclude that this happens less actively than previously thought. This also ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes structural damage to neural circuits, which in turn leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Transplantation of neural precursor cells/stem cells provides a potential ...

Anencephaly is a type of neural tube defect. During pregnancy, your baby's brain and spine start to form as a flat disk of cells. This flat disk rolls into a tube-like structure called the neural tube ...
