The Neural Crest and Neural Crest Cells in Vertebrate Development and Evolution

The Neural Crest and Neural Crest Cells in Vertebrate Development and Evolution by Brian K. Hall.

The evolution of the neural crest sheds light on many of the oldest unanswered questions in developmental biology, including the role of germ layers in early embryogenesis, the development of the nervous system, how the vertebrate head arose developmentally and evolutionarily, and how growth factors...
