Development of the Nervous System presents a broad treatment of the basic principles of neural development as exemplified by key experiments and observations from past and recent times.
The text is organized ontogenically, beginning from the induction of the neural primordium and leading to the emergence of behavior. It covers all the major topics that would form the basis of a comprehensive undergraduate curriculum along the way including the patterning and growth of the nervous system, neuronal determination, axonal navigation and targeting, neuron survival and death, synapse formation and plasticity.
The new text reflects the complete modernization of the field that has been achieved through the use of model organisms, the intensive application of molecular and genetic approaches, and the introduction of new imaging technologies.
Development of the Nervous System is richly illustrated with color photographs and original drawings. These illustrations, combined with clear, concise writing make this a book that is well suited to students approaching this intriguing field for the first time.
* Updates information including all the new developments made in the field since the first edition
* Now in full color throughout, with the original, artist-rendered drawings from the first edition completely redone, revised, colorized, and updated
* Includes a CD-ROM with all of the images from the book
Summary: Great book, buy it
Rating: 5
I REALLY, REALLY like this book. I am a 2nd year Neuroscience graduate student taking a Developmental Neurobiology course. Our lectures are great at giving details, but this book is awesome for giving a broader picture about development of the nervous system...which is so necessary because experiments are done in so many different types of model animals and at different stages....it's SO nice to have all broad principles put together in a cohesive story. It basically saved me. Totally worth the money. Thank you, thank you for writing this book!!!!

The order and all aspects went so well. I love ordering from Amazon and all its proprietors.
Summary: rich and detailed with beautiful illustrations

I purchased the second edition of this book and am thrilled with it.
The illustrations are some of the most beautiful and helpful that I have seen in any neuroscience textbook. The descriptions are clear, the mechanisms are systematically laid out, and research anecdotes are sprinkled throughout.
What is great about the developmental perspective is it helps you understand at an intuitive level that the brain is not a set of compartmentalized %26quot;brain areas%26quot; wired together like a digital computer. Instead, the brain is a complex 3-dimensional organ with a continuous structure that is the result of cell proliferation, tissue folding, and self-wiring.
The research anecdotes are helpful because they give you a sense for how dynamic and new developmental neuroscience is as a field, and they show just how indirect the methods often need to be to uncover the processes of cellular differentiation and axonal wiring.
This book, especially with the illustrations and attached CDROM, truly seems to be a labor of love.
Summary: Second edition

As an author of this book I appreciate Suzanne Nguyen's review of the first edition from February, 2003. When preparing the second edition, we took her suggestions into account. I think she would find that if she took a look at the second edition (the one that is now sold here), she would find that most of her previous criticisms have been addressed. We still did not provide a glossary, but we felt this was not necessary for an advanced text like this one. However, as we make plans for a third edition, it would be useful for us to hear from additional readers so that we can produce the best text possible.
Summary: Good Book
Rating: 5
This is an upper division text. The detail is clearly described and it even has well drawn out charts. If you are studying neuroscience or just interested in leaning about the embryonic development of the brain this is a good book.
