Derivation and migration
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
Into the pharyngeal arches and Truncus arteriosus (embryology), forming the aorticopulmonary septum[4] and the smooth muscle of great arteries.
Anterior of the aorta to become the four pre-aortic ganglia: (celiac ganglion, superior mesenteric ganglion, inferior mesenteric ganglion and aortical renal ganglia).
