future brain

The embryonic precursor of the brain. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the future brain is

The embryonic precursor of the brain. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the human body.

Where the future brain is

This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.

What the future brain connects to

The atlas records 14 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of embryo and neuroectoderm.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the future brain. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as brain rudiment, presumptive brain, encephalon and embryonic brain. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the future brain?

This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.

What does the future brain connect to?

Part of: embryo and neuroectoderm.

Is the future brain the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
