RETINAL DEVELOPMENT; ED. EVELYNE SERNAGOR.

Edición de la obra Retinal development

This advanced text takes a developmental approach to the presentation of our current understanding of how vertebrates construct a retina. Written by experts in the field, each of the seventeen chapters covers a specific step in the process, focusing on the underlying molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms. There is also a special section on emerging technologies, including genomics, zebrafish genetics, and stem cell biology that are starting to yield important new insights into retinal development. This book provides a concise and up-to-date view of what is known about vertebrate retinal development. Since the retina is 'an approachable part of the brain', this book will also be attractive to all neuroscientists interested in development, as processes required to build this exquisitely organized system are ultimately relevant to all other parts of the central nervous system.
