Development and Developmental Disorders of the Human Central Nervous System

The spectacular progress in developmental neurobiology, the tremendous advances in (neuro)genetics and the high resolution of the modern imaging techniques applicable to developmental disorders of the human brain and spinal cord have created a growing interest in the developmental history of the central nervous system (CNS). This new book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of the human CNS in the context of its many developmental disorders due to genetic, environmental and hypoxic/ischemic causes.
