Publisher's Synopsis
"Determinants of Neuronal Identity" synthesizes current ideas on the origins of neuronal diversity, and brings together different experimental approaches applied to a variety of animal systems. The contributing authors describe common themes in the problem of neuronal specification. The reader can thus consider how neurons are generated, their developmental identities created, and those identities modified to meet changing needs. This book sets a conceptual framework for future studies. It aims to inspire young scientists with the challenge of discovery in this field. It should prove useful reading for all students and researchers in developmental neurobiology.
