Neuroectoderm
Neuroectoderm (pronunciation: /ˌnʊəroʊˈɛktədɜːrm/) is a type of Ectoderm that gives rise to the Central Nervous System (CNS) in the early stages of Embryonic Development.
Etymology
The term "Neuroectoderm" is derived from the Greek words "neuron" meaning nerve, and "ektos" meaning outside, and "derma" meaning skin. This refers to its role in forming the outer layer of the Embryo that eventually develops into the nervous system.

- Neural Plate: The neural plate is the first stage of neuroectoderm development, which eventually folds to form the Neural Tube.
- Neural Crest: The neural crest is a transient, multipotent, migratory cell population unique to vertebrates that gives rise to a diverse cell lineage including melanocytes, craniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle, peripheral and enteric neurons and glia.
- Neurulation: Neurulation is the process where the neuroectoderm develops into the neural tube.
- Ectoderm: The ectoderm is one of the three primary germ layers in the very early embryo, and it serves as the starting point for neuroectoderm development.
