An Introduction to Developmental Neurobiology
Description
Developmental neuroscience is a field that explores how the nervous system is formed, from early embryonic stages through adulthood. Although it is known that neural progenitor cells follow predictable stages of proliferation, differentiation, migration, and maturation, the mechanisms controlling the progression through each...

Transcript
Developmental neurobiology explores how a few early embryonic cells can transform into an intricately organized nervous system that controls an entire organism.
Scientists in this field are interested in how cells take on specific identities, migrate to defined regions, and connect to form a functional system. These pr...
