Making of the Nervous System

The development of the nervous system of invertebrates and vertebrates involves a complex series of mechanisms acting in concert to ensure that the correct structures are appropriately innervated. This book reviews some recent advances in powerful techniques that help elucidate these diverse mechanisms. Incorporating new findings with established principles, the editors focus on unsolved problems and highlight some of the obstacles to their resolution. They feature the work of European and American researchers in a variety of fields, and integrate concepts and findings concerning the nervous system and non-neural cells.Parnavelas, John G. is the author of 'Making of the Nervous System', published 1988 under ISBN 9780198542247 and ISBN 0198542240.
