Foundations of Neural Development by S Marc Breedlove
Foundations of Neural Development is a lively and engaging exploration into how a single microscopic cell, a human zygote, can develop into the most complex machine on earth: the brain. Taking an evolutionary approach throughout, the progression of topics offers an organizing narrative that helps students see how all of the detailed mechanisms lead to the same outcome of a well-formed brain.
