Neurosciences; Zoology: Vertebrates

A presentation of all aspects of neural crest cell origins (embryological and evolutionary) development and evolution; neural crest cell behavior (migration) and anomalies (neurocristopathies and birth defects) that arise from defective neural crest development. The treatment of development will include discussions of cellular, molecular and genetic aspects of the differentiation and morphogenesis of neural crest cells and structures derived from neural crest cells. The origins of the neural crest in embryology will be discussed using the recent information on the molecular basis of the specification of the neural crest. Also presented are the advances in our understanding of the evolution of jaws from studies on lampreys and of the neural crest from studies on ascidians and amphioxus.

Reviews for The Neural Crest and Neural Crest Cells in Vertebrate Development and Evolution

From the reviews of the second edition: The new edition of 'The Neural Crest' - the first edition was published in 1999 - again tries to consider all aspects of neural crest cells. ... At the end, there is an overwhelming list of references ... and the obligatory index. ... There is plenty for both researchers and scientists ... in this well-organized and clearly written book. (Hartmut Greven, Bulletin of Fish Biology, Vol. 11 (1/2), December, 2009)
