The Role of Insulin-like Growth Factors in the Nervous System : Papers Presented at a Conference Held November 4-7, 1992, in Arlington, Virginia

This volume discusses various aspects of the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), their binding proteins and receptors.

The emphasis is on identification of these important growth factors in the nervous system and their potential role in nervous tissue physiology.

The IFGs are compared to other growth factors that are important in the nervous system, including nerve growth factor.
