For the band see Neuraxis (band)The neuraxis or sometimes neuroaxis is the axis of the central nervous system. It denotes the direction in which the central nervous system lies. During embryological development the neuraxis is bent by various flexures contributing to the mature structure of the brain and spinal cord.Embryonic development can help in understanding the structure of the adult brain because it establishes a framework on which more complex structures can be built.
