Neural development is the process by which the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, develops from a single cell into a complex and highly organized network of neurons. This process involves various stages, including cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation. Neural development is crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system and plays a key role in various functions such as sensory perception, motor coordination, and cognitive abilities. Researchers studying neural development aim to understand the mechanisms underlying these processes and how disruptions in development can lead to neurological disorders and diseases.
