Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cyclopia is caused by a deficiency in the formation of the forebrain during embryonic development, which leads to fusion of the eye structures and a single eye in the center of the face. The nasolateral and nasomedial processes contribute to the formation of the nose and upper lip, but they are not directly related to the development of the brain or cyclopia. The midbrain and hindbrain are also not involved in the development of the forebrain.
