Development of the human nervous system in fetuses of Chinese descent--from 80 mm (4 month) to 240 mm CR (end of 7 month gestation).
Important regional developments--e.g. histogenesis of areas of cortices, genesis of thalamic nuclei as well as gross morphogenesis remain to be elucidated. The present investigation is an attempt to commence a series of studies to obtain such information.
