Development of the Nervous System, Head, and Neck

by Peter Ward, PhD

The central nervous system (CNS) is among the first to begin developing with the emergence of the neural crest and tube. As the CNS develops, the cranial bones and face develop around it, making the head and face the most anatomically intricate regions of the human body.

In this course, students will be introduced to the stages of development of the CNS and sensory organs, the skull, and the face. Diseases arising from these processes going awry will be discussed throughout the course.

For optimal comprehension, the student will be required to have preliminary knowledge of molecular and cellular biology and biochemistry, with an emphasis on cell division and gene expression. Parallel study of the anatomy and physiology of the CNS is highly encouraged.

I appreciate the fact they try to explain the processes in very engaging way, but i think it would be even better to use customized stock video of the development of the nervous system. I had to go watch one on youtube

 
excellent course
By Viktoria S. on 07. August 2022 for Development of the Nervous System, Head, and Neck

An excellent course and therefore I gave the highest possible rating. I liked absolutely everything. Thanks for your work! I am now preparing for USMLE step 1 and I am at the stage of repetition of anatomy and embryology.
