Book Description
This special issue features a collection of papers examining multiple aspects of central and peripheral nervous system development. They address molecular, genetic, and cellular aspects of central and peripheral nervous system organization and regional development. These papers highlight recent work from laboratories and investigators using vertebrate models to study processes affecting the early development of the nervous system. Several areas of the nervous system, such as the developing eye and spinal cord are used as models for examining molecular and cellular events contributing to neural development. Additional studies address genetic aspects of central nervous system development and identify novel genes implicated in CNS patterning. These papers present a diversity of approaches and model systems while retaining a central focus on the early events required to shape the nervous system. Researchers and instructors in developmental biology and developmental neuroscience will profit most from this publication.
Pattern Formation During Development
Author: Cold Spring Harbor LaboratoryPublisher: CSHL Press
ISBN: 9780879695354
Category : Developmental biology
Languages : en
Pages : 630
Book Description
The architecture of an embryo results from complex molecular interactions in time and space. The secrets of these processes are yielding quickly to genetic and cellular dissection in flies, mice and other species, and finding application to human embryology. This volume presents a survey of the induction of axes, control of cell migration, and the development of the nervous system, limbs, wings and other organs, seen from the perspective of 61 investigators. It is completed by a summary that charts the future of this dynamic field.
Molecular Basis of Axon Growth and Nerve Pattern Formation

Book Description
Since the last Taniguchi Symposium on Brain Science dealt with the subject of developmental neurobiology in 1982 and again in 1985, the field has greatly advanced in several respects. Twelve years ago, our knowledge on the segmentation or compartmentalization of the vertebrate nervous systems was extremely fragmental. Today through a combination of transcription factors and cell-cell signaling molecules and their receptors, we can explain how regional specification of vertebrate brains is accomplished, and how the neuraxis is established in development. We also have several sets of molecules which play roles in the directional growth of axons and specification of neuron wiring. Advances in technology, particularly in gene manipulation techniques in mice, have enabled us to explore the exact functions of molecules or genes in the development of vertebrate nervous systems. Finally, the development of new experimental animal models, in particular zebrafish, has opened a way for genetic approach even to the vertebrate nervous systems. This timely publication presents a broad spectrum of developmental mechanisms on vertebrate nervous systems at molecular and cellular levels.

Development and Regeneration of the Nervous System
Author: S. NonaPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9789401050371
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This book explores aspects of the development and regeneration of the of the rote nervaus system, beginning with fundamental considerations of borneobox genes in vertebrate pattern formation. Two papers em phasize the roJe of mause Hox genes in patterning: the Hox-2 complex in the branchial arches and Hox-7 at later stages of development, par ticularly in the spinal cord and brain. The importance of borneobox genes and other transcription factors in patterning the Drosophila embryo is weil known. With the discovery of homologaus genes in higher verte brates including man, we now possess the molecular tools to begin to investigate the molecular basis of patterning in higher vertebrate em bryos. Interestingly, the last few years have seen the discovery of a number of diverged borneobox genes and other transcription factors in the head, such genes being arranged in a segmental pattern within the developing rhombomeres of the brain and such compartmentalization of expression being extended to their derivatives, tagether with those of the neural crest. More recently, both Hox genes and Pax genes have been described in a segmental arrangement as far torward as the developing forebrain. The majority of the book deals with regeneration of the nervaus system. Several aspects are explored, including ways of promoting central nervous system axons to grow back into a degenerating environment, for example by the use of complex polymeric matrices.
