ISBN: 9783805570862
Category : Science

Pages : 74
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.
Textbook of Pediatric Neurosurgery
Author: Concezio Di RoccoPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783319721675
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book documents the state of the art in pediatric neurosurgery with the intention of providing a comprehensive guide to the management of the full range of pediatric neurosurgical disorders that will aid in the delivery of optimal care. Detailed practical instruction, taking into account recent advances, is provided on the neurosurgical treatment of congenital brain malformations, cerebrovascular diseases, head injuries and spinal trauma, infections, functional disorders, congenital and developmental spinal disorders, and brain and spinal tumors. Pearls and pitfalls are highlighted, and attention drawn to the most useful tips and tricks. Information is also included on relevant related topics, including the principles of neuroimaging, the physiological responses of newborns, infants, and children to neurosurgical trauma, preoperative evaluation, anesthesiology and intensive care, and other forms of therapy. The authors are renowned experts in the field, and the text is supported by a wealth of high-quality images. Handbook of Pediatric Neurosurgery will be of value for neurosurgeons of all levels of experience, as well as for pediatricians, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, and neuro-oncologists.

Vertebrate Development
Author: Francisco PelegriPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319460951
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 554
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of topics describing the earliest steps of fertilization, from egg activation and fertilization to the activation of the zygotic genome, in various studied vertebrate model systems. The contribution of maternal and paternal factors and their role in the early embryo as parental DNA becomes modified and embryonic genes become activated is fundamental to the initiation of embryogenesis in all animal systems. It can be argued that this is a unique developmental period, when information from the parents is compressed to direct the development of the body plan of the entire organism, a process of astounding simplicity, elegance and beauty. In addition to their fundamental scientific interest, many frontiers of biomedicine, such as reproductive biology, stem cells and reprogramming, and the understanding of intergenerational diseases, depend on advances in our knowledge of these early processes. Vertebrate Development: Maternal to Zygotic Control brings together chapters from experts in various disciplines describing the latest advances related to this important developmental transition. Each chapter is a synthesis of knowledge relevant to all vertebrates, with details on specific systems as well as comparisons between the various studied vertebrate models. The editorial expertise encompasses the fields of major vertebrate model systems (mammalian, amphibian and teleost) ensuring a balanced approach to various topics. This unique book—with its combination of in-depth and up-to-date basic research, inter-species comprehensiveness and emphasis on the very early stages of animal development—is essential for research scientists studying vertebrate development, as well as being a valuable resource for college educators teaching advanced courses in developmental biology.
Clinical Neuroembryology
Author: Hans J. ten DonkelaarPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540346597
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
Progress in developmental neurobiology and advances in (neuro) genetics have been spectacular. The high resolution of modern imaging techniques applicable to developmental disorders of the human brain and spinal cord have created a novel insight into the developmental history of the central nervous system (CNS). This book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of the human CNS in the context of its many developmental disorders. It provides a unique combination of data from human embryology, animal research and developmental neuropathology, and there are more than 400 figures in over a hundred separate illustrations.

The Neural Crest in Development and Evolution
Author: Brian K. HallPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475730640
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A discussion of the neural crest and neural crest cells, dealing with their discovery, their embryological and evolutionary origins, their cellular derivatives - in both agnathan and jawed vertebrates or gnathostomes - and the broad topics of migration and differentiation in normal development. The book also considers what goes wrong when development is misdirected by mutations, or by exposure of embryos to exogenous agents such as drugs, alcohol, or excess vitamin A, and includes discussions of tumours and syndromes and birth defects involving neural crest cells.
