This book demonstrates that the systematic study of gene expression patterns in embryonic and adult brains, in combination with selected data from earlier studies, can pave the way for a new neuromorphology, the most salient features of which may be summarized as follows: (1) Causal analysis of molecular patterning at neural plate and early neural tube stages has shown that the CNS is essentially organized into transverse neural segments or neuromeres and longitudinal zones which follow the curved axis of the brain. (2) The FMUs initially represent thin neuroepithelial fields; in the course of Towards a New Neuromorphology - Rudolf Nieuwenhuys, Luis Puelles od authora Rudolf Nieuwenhuys, Luis Puelles a nakladatelství za skvělé ceny na e-shopu Martinus. cz.
