Neuroectoderm (orneural ectoderm orneural tube epithelium) consists of cells derived from theectoderm. Formation of the neuroectoderm is the first step in the development of thenervous system.[1] The neuroectoderm receivesbone morphogenetic protein-inhibiting signals from proteins such asnoggin, which leads to the development of thenervous system from this tissue. Histologically, these cells are classified as pseudostratified columnar cells.[1]
After recruitment from the ectoderm, the neuroectoderm undergoes three stages of development: transformation into theneural plate, transformation into theneural groove (with associatedneural folds), and transformation into theneural tube. After formation of the tube, the brain forms into three sections; thehindbrain, themidbrain, and theforebrain.
The types of neuroectoderm include:
