in the cranial region , nc cells enter the dorsal-lateral pathway ( i.e. , immediately subjacent to the ectoderm ) and avoid the ventral pathway ( i.e. , pathway between the mesoderm and neural tube and within the mesodermal cell population ) , whereas in the trunk region , the majority of the nc cells enter the ventral pathway ( i.e. , between the somite and neural tube ) and not the dorsal-lateral pathway .
