The book “Development of the Nervous System” provides a comprehensive overview of the processes involved in the development of the nervous system. The 4th edition covers a wide range of topics, including neural induction, patterning, neurogenesis, neuronal migration, axon guidance, synaptogenesis, and neuronal cell death.
The book delves into the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie these processes, as well as the genetic and environmental factors that influence nervous system development. It also explores the role of stem cells in neurogenesis and the formation of neural circuits.
In addition to discussing normal development, the book also covers developmental disorders and diseases of the nervous system, providing insights into the mechanisms underlying conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, and neurodegenerative diseases.
With contributions from leading experts in the field, “Development of the Nervous System” is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and clinicians interested in understanding the complex processes that shape the nervous system from embryonic development to adulthood.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
