Neuronal proliferation is the rapid increase in the formation of neurons, which takes place between 10 and 18 weeks of gestation. Option A is incorrect as it describes peripheral nerve spreading, not neuronal proliferation. Option C is incorrect because neuronal proliferation occurs in the first trimester, not just in the brain and spinal cord. Option D is incorrect because neuronal proliferation occurs between 10 and 18 weeks of gestation, not between 8 and 12 weeks.
