内容説明

Describes the findings in various aspects of research on the development of the nervous system, in particular the developmental mechanisms pertaining to the creation of order in the visual system. Chapters are written by leaders in their field and comprise views on the emerging strategies for future research, with an emphasis on the consideration of neural specificity and the plasticity of neuronal connections.
