The hindbrain vesicle
then differentiates a series of transverse swellings called rhombo-
meres.
This is the fi ve-vesicle stage of
neural tube transverse regionalization.
Then longitudinal, dorsoven-
tral, regionalization begins.

Dorsal regions of the hindbrain’s alar plate form a
unique structure, the rhombic lip.
This differentiation continues until the adult CNS
confi guration is achieved (Figs.

The
most obvious late-developing structures are the cere-
bral cortex and cerebellar cortex.

Several general features characterize the sensory
system (Section IV covers subsystems in detail).
Second, each of the three motor systems
receives a broad range of sensory inputs.
There is one synapse in the olfactory
system, and at least four in the visual system.
All CNS parts apparently have a basal activity level
that can be either increased or decreased.
Certain CNS regions generate intrinsic rhythmic
activity patterns.
