Cellular and Molecular Biology of Neuronal Development

Cellular and Molecular Biology of Neuronal Development by Ira Black.

A central problem in neurobiology concerns mechanisms that generate the pro­ found diversity and specificity of the nervous system. What is the substance of diversification and specificity at the molecular, cellular, and systems levels? 4 How, for example, do 1011 neurons each form approximately 10...
