This episode takes you back to the earliest moments of brain development, exploring the fascinating process of neural induction—the first step in forming the nervous system. We break down the molecular signals and cellular interactions that transform undifferentiated cells into neural tissue. From the role of the organizer to key signaling pathways like BMP inhibition, this episode uncovers the foundation of how the brain and spinal cord begin to emerge. Perfect for students, educators, and anyone curious about how complex neural systems originate from simple embryonic beginnings.
