Transcript
Episode notes
The embryo's neural plate folds into a tube by day 21, with the first closure being critical at the cordal end. Insufficient folic acid can lead to spina bifida due to improper DNA replication. Anencephaly can occur at the top end if tube closure is incomplete, crucial for forming brain vesicles. Environmental factors like high maternal temperature can impact tube closure, potentially leading to anencephaly.
