Anatomical terminology

The cardiac neural crest develops from the dorsal neural tube.[2] It overlaps the vagal neural crest and migrates to populate the pharyngeal arches 3, 4 and 6 (producing structures in the head) and to the heart, forming connective tissue that separates the great vessels of the heart.

Other Migration Locations:

Notch2 plays an important role in development.[4]

The FGF8 that is present in the endoderm is regulated by cardiac neural crest-derived cells (Hutson et al., 2006) he cardiac neural crest, in addition to forming the outflow tract septum, also has an indirect effect on the secondary heart field and thus outflow myocardium development, and that the FGF8 pathway is a common thread between the two populations.
