Description
Developmental Neuroscience is one of the six core disciplines in Neuroscience, and yet no single volume, non-textbook reference
exists on the market that provides researchers with more in-depth, high-level information on developmental neurobiology. Currently,
anyone interested in the field at a higher level must sift through review articles published frequently and the more specific handbooks
that focus on aspects of development rather than the field as a whole.
This reference is the first of its kind to fill this need.
It pulls together the relevant articles on the topic from the 10-volume Encyclopedia of Neuroscience (Academic Press,
2008) and serves as an affordable and immediate resource for scientists, postdocs, graduate students with an interest beyond the basic
textbook materials on the subject.
