Building brains: an introduction to neural development
"This book describes the main elements of current understanding of the mechanisms that create the nervous system, from its first beginnings to its mature form. It explains how cells make key decisions about becoming neural, when to proliferate and when to differentiate or die, what types of neural cells to become, how to connect to each other and how these connection are refined by spontaneous and environmentally-induced activity"--Provided by publisher.
