modeling studies demonstrate that these amounts of cell rearrangement and division are sufficient to approximate the shaping of the neural plate that normally ensues during neurulation , provided that some of the cell division occurs within the longitudinal plane of the neural plate and some within its transverse plane : longitudinal cell division results in craniocaudal extension of the neural plate , whereas transverse cell division results in lateral expansion of the neural plate such as that occurring at its cranial end ;
