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.
