Area of the human body surface innervated by each spinal nerve Even mammals , including humans, show the segmented bilaterian body plan at the level of the nervous system. The spinal cord contains a series of segmental ganglia , each giving rise to motor and sensory nerves that innervate a portion of the body surface and underlying musculature.
Many neurons migrating along the anterior-posterior axis of the body use existing axon tracts to migrate along in a process called axophilic migration. [18] An example of this mode of migration is in GnRH-expressing neurons , which make a long journey from their birthplace in the nose, through the forebrain, and into the hypothalamus. [ 19 ]
Islamic medicine in the middle ages was focused on how the mind and body interacted and emphasized a need to understand mental health. Circa 1000, Al-Zahrawi, living in Islamic Iberia, evaluated neurological patients and performed surgical treatments of head injuries, skull fractures, spinal injuries, hydrocephalus, subdural effusions and headache.

Brain-to-body size scales allometrically. [1] This means that as body size changes, so do other physiological, anatomical, and biochemical connections between the brain and body. [2] Small-bodied mammals tend to have relatively large brains compared to their bodies, while larger mammals (such as whales) have smaller brain-to-body ratios.
The 3 ′ (3 prime end) genes in the Hox cluster are induced by retinoic acid in the hindbrain, whereas the 5 ′ (5 prime end) Hox genes are not induced by retinoic acid and are expressed more posteriorly in the spinal cord. Hoxb-1 is expressed in rhombomere 4 and gives rise to the facial nerve.
