A primary step in organogenesis for chordates is the development of the notochord, which induces the formation of the neural plate, and ultimately the neural tube in vertebrate development. Neurulation, the process of developing the neural tube from the ectoderm, occurs directly after gastrulation. The embryo in this phase is called the neurula. In humans, this process occurs around week 3 of gestation.
