structural development of the baby’s spine or brain.
At ~1 month (weeks 3–8) the embryo is in the embryonic period when organogenesis occurs — teratogens are most likely to cause major structural malformations (e.g., neural tube defects affecting brain/spine). Emotional and intellectual effects and genital differentiation are more affected later (fetal period).
