Uberon definition : The single layer of epithelial cells that lines the early neural tube and develops
into the nervous system and into the neural crest cells;
Uberon synonym : original neural tube; germinal neuroepithelial layer;
Uberon Development note : As the cells adjacent to the lumen continue to divide, the migrating cells form a
second layer around the original neural tube. This layer becomes progressively thicker
as more cells are added to it from the germinal neuroepithelium. This new layer is
called the mantle (or intermediate) zone, and the germinal epithelium is now called
the ventricular zone (and, later, the ependyma)[NCBIBook:NBK10047];
