Is the development of the cental nervous system complete during the period of the embryo?

No, the development of the central nervous system (CNS) is not complete during the embryonic period. While the basic structure of the CNS begins to form early in embryonic development, significant maturation and refinement continue into the fetal period and even after birth. Key processes such as neuronal growth, synaptogenesis, and myelination occur well beyond embryonic development, contributing to the full functionality of the CNS.
