内容説明

This book highlights recent advances in the understanding of developmental events important in the formation of the nervous system. It offers a broad perspective, considering different levels of analysis, from the genetic and molecular to the multicellular and systems levels. The book features descriptions of the application of state-of-the-art techniques to the analysis of specific problems in neuronal development and considers how genes and environmental signals determine the identity of both neurons and muscle fibre types. It examines the molecular determinants of axonal growth and how these extracellular signals are integrates by the growth cone and analyzes the role of cell adhesion molecules in regulating specific cell-cell interactions and the question of neural specificity. The text also explores the different cellular mechanisms that allow the transduction of environmental signals, including patterned electrical activity which allows the nervous system to remain plastic and capable of being shaped by incoming information.

目次

  • How genes and environmental signals interact to affect the differentiation of excitable cells
  • matching between fast and slow motorneurons and muscle fibres in birds and mammals
  • the role played by functional activity in the nervous system in directing its own circuitry
  • the latest information on the first genes which transduce environmental signals, both electrical and hormonal.
