Brain vesicles are the bulge-like enlargements of the early

development of the neural tube in vertebrates, which eventually give rise to the brain
.

Vesicle formation begins shortly after the

mice, or the fourth and fifth gestational week in humans.[1] In zebrafish and chicken embryos, brain vesicles form by about 24 hours and 48 hours post-conception, respectively.[2]

Initially there are three primary brain vesicles:

neuroepithelium or ventricular zone. These neural stem cells divide rapidly, driving growth of the early brain, but later, these stem cells begin to generate neurons through the process of neurogenesis.[5]
