Description
This book is a compilation of research on cortical development in mammals. It covers the emergence of the forebrain from the neural plate, to the functioning adult form. The book integrates cellular development and structural morphology with events at the biochemical and genetic level. It also derives several theoretical models for the action of different cell types. This book is intended for postgraduates and researchers in neuroscience generally and developmental neurobiology in particular.
This volume attempts to bring together what is known about the fundamental mechanisms that underlie the development of the cortex in mammals. Ranging from the emergence of the forebrain from the neural plate to the functioning adult form, the authors draw on evidence from several species to provide a detailed description of processes at each stage. In contrast to other texts of developmental biology, this work integrates cellular development and structural morphology with events at the biochemical and genetic level. In addition, the authors derive several theoretical models for the action of different cell types This approach, combining the fundamentals of developmental neurobiology with accessible neural modelling, is intended for postgraduates and researchers in neuroscience generally and developmental neurobiology in particular, in neural networks and artificial intelligence. Review: ... we recommend this book for all who want not just to list the various mechanisms at work in cortical development, but to fit them into the overall picture Trends in Neurosciences eminently useful to specialists and students of neuroscience alike, especially given its unique perspective which reflecting the expertise of the authors, includes both biology and biological modeling British Neuroscience
