This volume addresses the following topics: migration; the generation of neuronal diversity; development of glia, blood vessels, and immune cells; and formation of axons and dendrites. It is the only complete overview over the diverse and important field of Developmental Neuroscience. It includes sections on all important aspects of Developmental Neuroscience. It includes 30 high level review articles broadly covering important areas, including stem cells, cognitive development, major developmental disorders, etc.
It offers 200 + articles for 2800 full color pages covering all aspects of how the nervous system and it's components develop.
