05. Embryology (Neurulation): Closing the Neural Story
Neurulation is where complexity begins to accelerate. In this episode, we explore how a flat sheet of ectoderm transforms into the neural tube and why this process is both elegant and precarious. Rather than memorising days and folds, we focus on the underlying logic: shaping, closure, and timing.
Langman’s mechanistic explanations help clarify how neural folds elevate and fuse, while IB Singh’s structured sequencing keeps orientation intact. Moore’s clinical lens anchors the discussion in neural tube defects, folate metabolism, and the lifelong consequences of errors at this stage.
