The three‐dimensionally reconstructed models show the differentiation and expansion of developing human brain from the embryonic (top) to fetal (bottom) stage. At the end of the embryonic period, developing brain is segmented into six areas: the telencephalon, mesencephalon, diencephalon, cerebellum, pons and medulla oblongata. In the fetal period, each region, especially telencephalon, is expanded rapidly. Further details can be seen in the article by Yamaguchi et al. in this issue.
