The nervous system integrates every other system, and its development reflects that complexity. This episode explores how the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves emerge from simple beginnings into a highly organised network.

Langman provides clarity on neural tube differentiation and brain vesicles, IB Singh reinforces spatial and temporal sequencing, and Moore anchors the discussion in neural tube defects, brain malformations, and functional consequences. The emphasis is on patterning rather than memorisation.

This episode helps listeners see the nervous system as an evolving network — shaped by timing, closure, and migration — rather than a static anatomical entity.
