CourseNBL 430

It starts with a dividing glob of cells. Not a single cell is any different, but with the right application of magic and a few short days, not only is your stomach a stomach, and your brain a brain, but all of the different kinds of cells of your brain needs to function are in the perfect spot and at the perfect number. Every neuron finds its exact target even when that means having to read a complex set of signals that change every few micrometers.
