Summary:

The development of the nervous system of invertebrates and vertebrates involves a complex series of mechanisms acting in concert to ensure that the correct structures are appropriately innervated. This book reviews some recent advances in powerful techniques that help elucidate these diverse mechanisms. Incorporating new findings with established principles, the editors focus on unsolved problems and highlight some of the obstacles to their resolution. They feature the work of European and American researchers in a variety of fields, and integrate concepts and findings concerning the nervous system and non-neural cells.

Notes:

Based on a conference held at Wye College, Kent, in June 1986.
