Preferred Label : perineural vascular plexus;
Uberon definition : The capillary bed that initially surrounds the relative avascular brain and spinal
cord; the perineural vascular plexus (PNVP) is the precursor to the blood brain barrier
formed by angioblasts which migrate away from somites and is recruited to surround
the neural tube in response to VEGF; vascularization of the brain and spinal cord
occurs via angiogenesis as sprouting vessels from the PNVP invade the neuroepithelium
and grow inward toward the ventricular lumen[MP].;
