May 29, 2023 · The neural tube goes on to grow in two directions, cephalad and caudad, with the most cephalad region forming the adult frontal cortex. Brain development begins with the formation of three primary vesicles: the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain then goes on to develop into two secondary vesicles: the telencephalon and diencephalon.
Your brain’s frontal lobe is home to areas that manage thinking, emotions, personality, judgment, self-control, muscle control and movements, memory storage and more. Just as its name indicates, it’s the forward-most area of your brain. Your frontal lobe is a key area of study for both brain-related and mental health-related fields of medicine.

Aug 2, 2019 · The human cortex has relative enlargement of the upper layers, enhanced diversity and function of inhibitory interneurons and a highly expanded transient subplate layer during development. Here we highlight recent studies that address how these differences emerge during development focusing on diverse facets of our evolution.
Although most cortical regions are sensitive to a wide range of experiential factors during development and later in life, the prefrontal cortex appears to be unusually sensitive to perinatal experiences and relatively immune to many adulthood experiences relative to other neocortical regions.
The development of the cerebral cortex is characterized by three main steps: (1) proliferation and differentiation of the neuronal stem cells into neuroblasts and glia cells, (2) migration of neuronal precursors toward the cortical plate by either radial or tangential movements, and (3) cortical organization into six layers associated with synap...
Highlights. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) comprises a conglomeration of brain areas with a largely heterogeneous cross-species anatomical definition that accounts for numerous cognitive abilities.
