Summary Introduction
To review:
The impact of anencephaly on the development of specific structures of the brain.
Introduction:
Anencephaly is a lethal developmental disorder in which the anterior-most part of the developing neural tube is not able to close during fetal development. This disorder affects the proper development of the brain structures.

- Watch this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/braindevel) to examine the development of the brain, starting with the neural tube. As the anterior end of the neural tube develops, it enlarges into the primary vesicles that establish the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Those structures continue to develop throughout the rest of embryonic development and into adolescence. They are the basis of the structure of the fully developed adult brain. How would you describe the difference in the relative sizes of the three regions of the brain when comparing the early (25th embryonic day) brain and the adult brain?arrow_forwardDescribe the structures and functions of the neurons and neuroglia of the cerebrum, the cerebellum, the diencephalon, and the brain stem.
