The developing notochord and the adjacent paraxial mesoderm are thought to produce inductive substances that stimulate development of the neural plate from the overlying embryonic ectoderm.The notochord forms the basis of the axial skeleton.The vertebrae develop around it,and then it degenerates.In between the vertebrae,the notochord forms the primordium of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc.
