Neural tube closure (3). Initially, caudal neural plate undergoes convergent extension and rostral neural plate moves towards the dorsoventral midline. Subsequently apical constriction occurs both at the caudal and anterior neural plate. Caudal neural tube closure is completed before rostral neural tube closure. Time interval= 3min
