Answer

In the embryos of vertebrates, the front side of the hollow neural tube develops into the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The remaining portion of the neural tube matures into the spinal cord. After 2 months, the forebrain differentiates into the telencephalon and diencephalon. After 6 months, the hindbrain becomes the cerebellum, pons, and medulla.
