Development and Regeneration of the Nervous System

by S. Nona (Editor), J.R. Cronly-Dillon (Editor), M.J.W. Ferguson (Editor), C. Stafford (Editor)

Overview

This authoritative volume brings together chapters by international experts on key issues in developmental neurobiology. A central theme is the way in which current work on the trophic and cellular interactions that regulate the growth and guidance of regenerating nerves offers hope for the neurologically damaged patient.
