Synopsis
Development of the Nervous System presents a broad outline of neural development principles as exemplified by key experiments and observations from past and recent times. The text is organized along a development pathway from the induction of the neural primordium to the emergence of behavior. It covers all the major topics including the patterning and growth of the nervous system, neuronal determination, axonal navigation and targeting, synapse formation and plasticity, and neuronal survival and death. This new text reflects the complete modernization of the field achieved through the use of model organisms and the intensive application of molecular and genetic approaches. Original, artist-rendered drawings combined with clear, concise writing make Development of the Nervous System well suited to anyone approaching this complex field for the first time.

Review
Clearly and accurately written, beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully organized, this book covers everything -- RONALD W. OPPENHEIM, Ph.D. Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy, Wake Forest University,
I certainly intend to make this book required reading for our own graduate course in Developmental Neuroscience -- JOHN L. BIXBY, Neuroscience Program, University of Miami, School of Medicine
a truly excellent text that will serve to excite new students in neuroscience and development for years to come -- Douglas Kerr, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Trends in Neurosciences (May 2001)
From the Back Cover
Development of the Nervous System presents a broad treatment of the basic principles of neural development as exemplified by key experiments and observations from past and recent times.
The text is organized ontogenically, beginning from the induction of the neural primordium and leading to the emergence of behavior. It covers all the major topics that would form the basis of a comprehensive undergraduate curriculum along the way including the patterning and growth of the nervous system, neuronal determination, axonal navigation and targeting, neuron survival and death, synapse formation and plasticity.
The new text reflects the complete modernization of the field that has been achieved through the use of model organisms, the intensive application of molecular and genetic approaches, and the introduction of new imaging technologies.
Development of the Nervous System is richly illustrated with color photographs and original drawings. These illustrations, combined with clear, concise writing make this a book that is well suited to students approaching this intriguing field for the first time.
