Cellular Migration and Formation of Axons and Dendrites: Comprehensive Developmental Neuroscience

Cellular Migration and Formation of Neuronal Connections, Second Edition, the latest release in the Comprehensive Developmental Neuroscience series, presents the latest information on the genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms of neural development. This book provides a much-needed update that underscores the latest research in this rapidly evolving field, with new section editors discussing the technological advances that are enabling the pursuit of new research on brain development. This volume focuses on the formation of axons and dendrites and cellular migration.

Features leading experts in various subfields as section editors and article authorsPresents articles that have been peer reviewed to ensure accuracy, thoroughness and scholarshipIncludes coverage of mechanisms which regulate the formation of axons and dendrites and cellular migrationCovers neural activity, from cell-intrinsic maturation, to early correlated patterns of activity
