Patterning and Cell Type Specification in the Developing CNS and PNS
This book helped me better understand how the CNS develops. The illustrations are easy to comprehend and the literature (15-20 ish pages per chapter) summarizes the research succinctly. I recommend this book and the rest of the Comprehensive Developmental Neuroscience series to anyone who has a legitimate desire to learn more about developmental vertebrate neuroscience.
