Neurulation is an important part of how our nervous system develops. But it can be tricky, and problems during this stage can lead to serious issues in the brain and spine.
Here are some key points to understand:
Risk of Problems: If something goes wrong during neurulation, it can cause conditions like spina bifida, where the spine doesn’t form properly.
Different Shapes: Sometimes, the way the neural tube folds can be unusual, leading to different structural problems.
To help fix or prevent these issues, we can use several strategies:
Early Screening: Checking for problems in the neural tube before a baby is born can help catch issues early.
Healthy Eating: Taking folic acid can improve development and lead to better outcomes for the baby.
