Development of the human fetal brain

Abstract

Growth is a very important feature of development of a multicellular organism. It involves both cell multiplication and making more intra and extracellular material. Both types of increases involve the synthesis of DNA, RNA, Proteins, Lipids and Other constituent materials of the cells. From the point of view of development, an important feature of growth is that it occurs to different extents in different parts of the developing embryo and different patterns of growth can continue for long periods.
