Development and Differentiation of the Nervous System : 21st Seiriken Conference, Okazaki, February 1996. Reprint of: Developmental Neuroscience 1997, Vol. 19, No. 1

This publication focuses on how the diverse cell types of the vertebrate system are generated, how they migrate to their correct destination and how the precise neural connections are formed.

The contributions originate from an international conference at which nearly 100 scientists came together to discuss the latest findings in this important research area.

Many key molecules have been identified that determine the fate of cell lineage, the destination of neural migration, and the pathway for neurite elongation.

The contents of this publication will add further to our understanding of the development and differentiation of the nervous system.
