Building brains: an introduction to neural development

Description

Models and methods for studying neural development -- The anatomy of developing nervous systems -- Neural induction : an example of how intercellular signalling determines cell fates -- Patterning the neuroectoderm -- Neurogenesis : generating neural cells -- How neurons develop their shapes -- Neuronal migration -- Axon guidance -- Life and death in the developing nervous system -- Map formation -- Maturation of functional properties -- Experience-dependent development.
