Term Name: neural tube mantle layer
Synonyms: future brain marginal layer, neural tube intermediate zone
Definition: The layer of glia and differentiating neurons that forms as a second layer around the germinal neuroepithium; as this develops it comes to lie between the ventricular and marginal layers and includes the basal and alar plates. Develops into neurons and glia forming a gray matter layer.
