Durante la cuarta semana, después del cierre de los neuroporos, el extremo cefálico del tubo neural craneal al cuarto par de somitos se dilata considerablemente y aparecen las tres vesículas encefálicas primarias a partir de las cuales se origina el encéfalo: Prosencéfalo (cerebro anterior), mesencéfalo (cerebro medio) y rombencéfalo (cerebro posterior). [...] Durante la quinta semana el prosencéfalo y rombencéfalo se dividen en dos vesículas secundarias: El prosencéfalo origina (1) el telencéfalo (cerebro terminal) [y] (2) el diencéfalo [...]. El rombencéfalo formará finalmente (1) elmetencéfalo, que constituirá la protuberancia y el cerebelo, (2) el mielencéfalo, el futuro bulbo raquídeo. 1, record 1, Spanish, - rombenc%C3%A9falo
