PSYCH 004: Neural Development and Neurogenesis
If genomics provides the script, neural development is the unfolding performance. This chapter explores how the brain is physically constructed - how neurons are generated, guided, connected, and ultimately sculpted into functional systems.
In this episode, we follow the journey from early neurogenesis to the formation of complex neural circuits. Neurons are born in specific regions, migrate to their destinations, differentiate into specialised types, and extend connections that form the basis of communication.
But development is not simply additive - it is selective. The brain initially…
