Or it goes into the board and it comes out of the board and it runs along the entire length of that developing organism. Because remember, this is only a cross section of that entire developing organism. That's why the noticort looks like a circle. Now, what exactly is the point of the noticort? Well, the cells found in the noticort are responsible for stimulating and inducing the thickening of the actoderm region, this section here to produce a structure known as the neural plate. And it's the actodermal cells of the neural plate that eventually give rise to the central and the peripheral nervous system.
