neural tube

About one baby in 1,000 is born with a neural tube defect.

We will follow the later development of the brain and neural tube in Chapter 8.

This may help prevent neural tube defects in the baby.

A defect in which the neural tube fails to close.

The spinal cord is made from part of the neural tube during development.

It results when the upper part of the neural tube fails to close.

Neural tube development takes place three to four weeks after conception, before many women know they are pregnant.

They both look for the same thing - neural tube defects and Down syndrome.

One of these is seen immediately in front of the neural tube.

Preventing neural tube defects, when taken by a mother around the time of conception.

The neural tube, which will form the brain and spinal cord, develops.

If not, it may be that the neural tube is not completely closed.

The researchers then determined which women had fetuses with neural tube defects.

Some problems, such as certain types of neural tube defects and Down syndrome, may not be fatal.

High levels in a mother's blood can indicate a neural tube defect or multiple pregnancy.

The brain develops from a sheath of cells called the neural tube.

The condition is caused by a failure of the neural tube to close very early in gestation.

Most women whose babies have neural tube defects have no family history of these problems.

This curve has to be reversed as the plate rolls together to form the neural tube.

A neural tube defect occurs when this process doesn't happen normally.

This structure, the neural tube, gives rise to the brain and spinal cord.

These defects are caused by failure of the neural tube to close completely during fetal development.

Neural tube defects occur in the first 6 weeks of pregnancy, before most women realize they are pregnant.

A sequence of tests can determine if the fetus has a neural tube defect.

Early expression in the primitive neural tube emerges at day E10.
