Early neural development


In my 2-Minute Neuroscience videos I explain neuroscience topics in 2 minutes or less. In this video, I discuss early neural development. I explain how the neural plate develops into the neural tube, and then the process by which the neural tube forms the brain and spinal cord. I discuss the primary (prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon) and secondary (telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon, and myelencephalon) vesicles and what parts of the brain they will eventually form.

The other is to contrast and pick up flavours to give a whole different perception and experience. He pairs a white wine, which is a fairly standard choice, and a red, which makes an unexpected and surprising match, with a Northeastern dish.
