Anencephaly.co.uk The remaining brain tissue is often exposed—not covered by bone or skin. Most babies with this genetic disorder do not survive birth.

Anencephaly is a cephalic disorder that results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the cephalic (head) end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day of pregnancy, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp. Children with this disorder are born without a forebrain, the largest part of the brain consisting mainly of the cerebral

hemispheres (which include the neocortex, which is responsible for higher-level cognition, i.e., thinking).
