(embryology) A strip of ectodermal material in the early vertebrate embryo inserted between the prospective neural plate and the epidermis.
The formation of neural crest during the process of neurulation. Neural crest is first induced in the region of the neural plate border. After neural tube closure, neural crest cells delaminate from the region between the dorsal neural tube and overlying ectoderm and migrate out towards the periphery.
