Takes place from 2 - 8 Weeks. Cell differentiation intensifies, support system for cells form, and organs appear
-
2) Neurogenesis- once the neural tube is closed then the generation of new neurons begin
-
3) Neural Migration- cells moving outward from their point of origin of their appropriate locations and creating different levels.
-
Neural Connectivity - connections between neurons begin to occur and continue after birth
