Document Summary
Adult brain is a product of: genetic instruction, cell-cell signals. Interaction with environment: cells are instructed by structures surrounding them. Early brain development occurs before synapse formation activity dependent other one & decides what to do with that signal: synapses are the points where two neurons communicate. One gets incoming signal from the: before neurons are communicating with each other, the brain is developing. Brain development is a function of multiple things: start with an individual cell, get rapid division, therefore, it is under the control of cell-cell communication. Migration of neurons from site of generation to final position. It is the functional circuits and groups of circuits that form the anatomy of the brain. The head = anterior posterior axis of the embryo. Taking a cross section from top to bottom is how you look at the neural plate (strip structure)
