CNS Developmental Anke van Eekelen, PhD Telethon Institute for Child Health Research (Some slides are modified versions of Prof. Alan Harvey’s Neuroscience lecture at ANHB and Dr. Joanne Britto’s Dev Neuroscience lecture from 2003) Central Nervous System Lateral view of the ventricles of the brain Dorsal view of the spinal cord • The brain is an astonishingly complex structure. • However not only is it an amazing structure it is also, to a large degree, self assembling. • When development goes wrong it causes great problems as, unlike for example cardiac problems, it does not always lead to death • About 1.3% of total births have some neural abnormality Comparative neurology optic lobe olfactory bulb cerebral cortex cerebellum forebrain CODFISH pituitary olfactory bulb cerebellum HORSE optic lobe forebrain cerebellum olfactory bulb cerebral hemisphere FROG optic lobe forebrain superior and inferior colliculi olfactory bulb cerebellum HUMAN cerebellum ALLIGATOR olfactory bulb The degree of complexity of the brain in the different vertebrate species reflects its evolution. forebrain cerebellum olfactory bulb GOOSE optic lobe The basic subdivisions of the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain are seen in all vertebrates and during evolution the most striking changes have taken place in the rostral part of the forebrain, which gives rise to the olfactory bulb and the telencephalon. Development of the CNS Formation of major brain divisions via Flexures and swellings of neural tube • • Prosencephalon Forebrain – cerebral hemispheres (cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, lateral ventricles etc) - Telencephalon • • Diencephalon Thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus • • Mesencephalon - (cephalic flexure) Midbrain • • • Rhombencephalon – (pontine and cervical flexures) Metencephalon – pons, cerebellum Myelencephalon - medulla • Spinal cord More specifically: 1- Specification of neural tissue 2- Origin, birth and migration of cells 3- Acquisition of cell phenotype 4- Formation of correct connections 1- Specification of neural tissue & neural tube formation Gastrulation stage Neural default model of induction Frog blastula Ectoderm (animal cap) Ventral Meso Meso Endoderm (vegetal region) Mesoderm (marginal zone) Dorsal Marginal zone Endoderm Organizer (Nieuwkoop centre) BMPs (↑ectod diff/↓neuroectod diff) BMP antagonists (chordin, follistatin, noggin) Weinstein and Hemmati-Brivanlou Curr.

Neurobiol (1997) 7:7-12 Formation of neural plate, neural groove and neural tube 22-23 days Human neural tube closure Anterior neuropore 22 days 23 days Normal Anencephaly Spina bifida Dorsal and transverse sections Anterior and Posterior neuropores are open to amniotic fluid. Neural tube closure in mammals us initiated at several places along the anterior-posterior axis. Different neural tube defects are caused when various parts of the neural tube fail to close. Failure to close the human posterior neural tube at day 27 results in spina bifida. Failure to close the anterior neural tube results in a lethal condition, anencephaly. In this condition, the forebrain remains in contact with the amniotic fluid and subsequently degenerates.
