The central nervous system is
derived from the ectoderm during embryogenesis in humans.
In the third week of embryonic development, the neuroectoderm is
formed. It produces the neural plate along the dorsal side of the
embryo. It is the source of the majority of glial cells and neurons
of the central nervous system.
By week 4, the neural tube is produced which is filled with the
cerebrospinal fluid.
By week 24-25, the nervous system is able to control few body functions.
