is there a more efficient way to derive a normal distribution.
% Deriving Normal Distribution From the Data
x=0:1:12;
m=mean(Data);
s=std(Data);
p=(1/(s*sqrt(2*pi)))*exp((-(x-m).^2)/(2*s^2));

Image Analyst, it isn't 'x' that Harley is stating has the normal distribution. It is 'data' which isn't being specified here. The 'x' is the independent variable in the hypothesized normal distribution. A plot of
plot(x,p)
would give the theoretical normal distribution pdf values as functions of x for the mean and std which have been computed from 'data'.

Here is another suggestion:
y=pdf('Normal',x,m,s);
plot(x,y);

It's fewer characters, so it's simpler to look at, but I doubt it's faster or more efficient (since there is more than one line of code inside that function), but I doubt he really wanted/needed more efficiency or speed anyway.

Yes Mr @Image Analyst, the advantage i see is that this function gives a choice for other laws besides the Gaussian,

Since this is normal distribution, the mean and std of the data are the maximum likelihood estimates for the normal distribution from the data.
Once you have the PDF, like you have in the last line of code as 'p', you could plot the PDF using x to span -4*sigma to +4*sigma:
x = -4*s:0.01:4*s
p=(1/(s*sqrt(2*pi)))*exp((-(x-m).^2)/(2*s^2));
plot(x,p)
You could use a wider range if you wanted to.

You might try the Statistics Toolbox function 'normplot' to see how closely your 'data' comes to a normal distribution.
