  • Genesis of Symbolic Thought

    by Alan Barnard ...
    Symbolic thought is what makes us human. Claude Lévi-Strauss stated that we can never know the genesis of symbolic thought, but in this powerful new study Alan Barnard argues that we can.

  • Development of the Vertebrate Retina

    Edited by Dale R. Sengelaub, Barbara L. Finlay ...
    Series series Perspectives in Vision Research
    The vertebrate retina has a form that is closely and clearly linked to its func tion. Though its fundamental cellular architecture is conserved across verte brates, the retinas of individual species show variations that are also of clear and direct functional utility. Its accessibility, readily identifiable neuronal types, and specialized neuronal connectivity and morphology have made it a model ... Read more

  • Guidance Cues in the Developing Brain

    Edited by Ivica Kostovic ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Many complex molecular interactions are involved in the development of the mammalian brain. Molecules serving as guidance cues for migratory cells, growing axons and for recognition of postsynaptic targets are a major topic for research because they are directly involved in the formation of neuronal circuits, thus creating the foundation for subsequent functional refinement through interactions ...

    Cell Adhesion Molecules and Their Role in Synapse Formation and Maintenance

    Edited by Michael Hortsch, Hisashi Umemori ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The molecular mechanisms, which are responsible for the functional differences between the various types of neuronal synapses, have become one of the central themes of modern neurobiology. It is becoming increasingly clear that a misregulation of synaptogenesis and synaptic remodeling and dysfunctional neuronal synapses are at the heart of several human diseases, both neurological disorders and ...
