Mechanisms of neural cell genesis in development and disease

More about the book

New advances in understanding the generation of cell diversity in the developing vertebrate nervous system are presented, bringing together different perspectives and approaches as well as the use of different biological systems under a general theme. As a result, the reader is able to draw from a vast resource of information. In addition to studies on development, some articles concentrate on disease and allow direct comparison of the molecular mechanisms implicated in both development and disease. Developmental neuroscientists who are interested in neural cell fate determination as well as people working in areas of neural disease such as multiple sclerosis will profit most from this issue.
