General Information
Term central nervous system development ID (Ontology) GO:0007417 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the central nervous system over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The central nervous system is the core nervous system that serves an integrating and coordinating function. In vertebrates it consists of the brain and spinal cord. In those invertebrates with a central nervous system it typically consists of a brain, cerebral ganglia and a nerve cord.[ ISBN:0582227089 ]
