Description/Summary
- Table of Contents:
- Models and methods for studying neural development -- The anatomy of developing nervous systems -- Neural induction : an example of how intercellular signalling determines cell fates -- Patterning the neuroectoderm -- Neurogenesis : generating neural cells -- How neurons develop their shapes -- Neuronal migration -- Axon guidance -- Life and death in the developing nervous system -- Map formation -- Maturation of functional properties -- Experience-dependent development.
- Summary:
- "This book describes the main elements of current understanding of the mechanisms that create the nervous system, from its first beginnings to its mature form. It explains how cells make key decisions about becoming neural, when to proliferate and when to differentiate or die, what types of neural cells to become, how to connect to each other and how these connection are refined by spontaneous and environmentally-induced activity"--Provided by publisher.
