Development of Sensory and Neurosecretory Cell Types

More about the book

Focusing on cranial placodes, the book delves into their establishment in early embryonic development and the subsequent differentiation of sensory and neurosecretory cell types. Schlosser explores the intricate processes that lead to the formation of cranial sense organs in vertebrates, analyzing both the development of individual placodes and their contributions to distinct anatomical structures. This comprehensive examination highlights the significance of placodal development in understanding vertebrate sensory organ evolution.
