Development of the nervous system
The development of the nervous system, or neural development (neurodevelopment), refers to the processes that generate, shape, and reshape the nervous system of animals, from the earliest stages of embryonic development to adulthood. Dorsal lip and development of the nervous system are animal developmental biology.

Embryo
An embryo is the initial stage of development for a multicellular organism. Dorsal lip and embryo are embryology.
Epiblast
In amniote embryonic development, the epiblast (also known as the primitive ectoderm) is one of two distinct cell layers arising from the inner cell mass in the mammalian blastocyst, or from the blastula in reptiles and birds, the other layer is the hypoblast. Dorsal lip and epiblast are embryology.
Epidermis
The epidermis is the outermost of the three layers that comprise the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis.
Fate mapping
Fate mapping is a method used in developmental biology to study the embryonic origin of various adult tissues and structures.

Follistatin
Follistatin, also known as activin-bindings protein, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FST gene.
See Dorsal lip and Follistatin
Gastrulation
Gastrulation is the stage in the early embryonic development of most animals, during which the blastula (a single-layered hollow sphere of cells), or in mammals the blastocyst, is reorganized into a two-layered or three-layered embryo known as the gastrula. Dorsal lip and Gastrulation are animal developmental biology and embryology.

Gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings.
Genetic engineering
Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the modification and manipulation of an organism's genes using technology.
See Dorsal lip and Genetic engineering
Germ layer
A germ layer is a primary layer of cells that forms during embryonic development. Dorsal lip and germ layer are embryology and Gastrulation.
GSK-3
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that mediates the addition of phosphate molecules onto serine and threonine amino acid residues.
Hans Spemann
Hans Spemann (27 June 1869 – 9 September 1941) was a German embryologist who was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1935 for his student Hilde Mangold's discovery of the effect now known as embryonic induction, an influence, exercised by various parts of the embryo, that directs the development of groups of cells into particular tissues and organs.

Invagination
Invagination is the process of a surface folding in on itself to form a cavity, pouch or tube.

Irradiation is the process by which an object is exposed to radiation.

Knockout mouse
A knockout mouse, or knock-out mouse, is a genetically modified mouse (Mus musculus) in which researchers have inactivated, or "knocked out", an existing gene by replacing it or disrupting it with an artificial piece of DNA.

Marginal zone
The marginal zone is the region at the interface between the non-lymphoid red pulp and the lymphoid white-pulp of the spleen.

Messenger RNA
In molecular biology, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule of RNA that corresponds to the genetic sequence of a gene, and is read by a ribosome in the process of synthesizing a protein.

Mutation
In biology, a mutation is an alteration in the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA.
