The growth of the human vertebral canal and the spinal cord during normal fetal development was studied. The results suggest that these two parts of the developing body exhibit a similar developmental pattern. Computer analysis also revealed that the rate of this parallel growth is considerably lower than that of the body as a whole but similar to that reported for the brain. These results are discussed in relation to the pathogenesis of certain neurological diseases.
研究了正常胎儿发育过程中人类椎管和脊髓的生长情况。结果表明，发育中的身体这两个部分呈现出相似的发育模式。计算机分析还显示，这种平行生长的速度明显低于整个身体的生长速度，但与报道的大脑生长速度相似。结合某些神经疾病的发病机制对这些结果进行了讨论。
