Book Description
Development of the Nervous System presents a broad treatment of the basic principles of neural development as exemplified by key experiments and observations from past and recent times.
The text is organized ontogenically, beginning from the induction of the neural primordium and leading to the emergence of behavior. It covers all the major topics that would form the basis of a comprehensive undergraduate curriculum along the way including the patterning and growth of the nervous system, neuronal determination, axonal navigation and targeting, neuron survival and death, synapse formation and plasticity.
The new text reflects the complete modernization of the field that has been achieved through the use of model organisms, the intensive application of molecular and genetic approaches, and the introduction of new imaging technologies.
Development of the Nervous System is richly illustrated with color photographs and original drawings. These illustrations, combined with clear, concise writing make this a book that is well suited to students approaching this intriguing field for the first time.
* Updates information including all the new developments made in the field since the first edition
* Now in full color throughout, with the original, artist-rendered drawings from the first edition completely redone, revised, colorized, and updated
* Includes a CD-ROM with all of the images from the book

Great book, buy it.......2007-10-07
I REALLY, REALLY like this book. I am a 2nd year Neuroscience graduate student taking a Developmental Neurobiology course. Our lectures are great at giving details, but this book is awesome for giving a broader picture about development of the nervous system...which is so necessary because experiments are done in so many different types of model animals and at different stages....it's SO nice to have all broad principles put together in a cohesive story. It basically saved me. Totally worth the money. Thank you, thank you for writing this book!!!! :)
Awesome .......2007-05-13
The order and all aspects went so well. I love ordering from Amazon and all its proprietors.
rich and detailed with beautiful illustrations.......2006-11-16
I purchased the second edition of this book and am thrilled with it.
The illustrations are some of the most beautiful and helpful that I have seen in any neuroscience textbook. The descriptions are clear, the mechanisms are systematically laid out, and research anecdotes are sprinkled throughout.
What is great about the developmental perspective is it helps you understand at an intuitive level that the brain is not a set of compartmentalized "brain areas" wired together like a digital computer. Instead, the brain is a complex 3-dimensional organ with a continuous structure that is the result of cell proliferation, tissue folding, and self-wiring.
The research anecdotes are helpful because they give you a sense for how dynamic and new developmental neuroscience is as a field, and they show just how indirect the methods often need to be to uncover the processes of cellular differentiation and axonal wiring.
This book, especially with the illustrations and attached CDROM, truly seems to be a labor of love.
Second edition.......2006-09-04
As an author of this book I appreciate Suzanne Nguyen's review of the first edition from February, 2003. When preparing the second edition, we took her suggestions into account. I think she would find that if she took a look at the second edition (the one that is now sold here), she would find that most of her previous criticisms have been addressed. We still did not provide a glossary, but we felt this was not necessary for an advanced text like this one. However, as we make plans for a third edition, it would be useful for us to hear from additional readers so that we can produce the best text possible.
Good Book.......2005-01-30
This is an upper division text. The detail is clearly described and it even has well drawn out charts. If you are studying neuroscience or just interested in leaning about the embryonic development of the brain this is a good book.

Bio: Old but Good.......2006-08-20
I am a little surprised that my instructor used this book seeing as it is about 4 editions old. Other than that it is a good book.
Book Description
The publication of this handbook testifies to the rapid growth of developmental cognitive neuroscience as a distinct field. Brain imaging and recording technologies, along with well-defined behavioral tasks--the essential methodological tools of cognitive neuroscience--are now being used to study development. Whereas earlier methodologies allowed scientists to study only adult brains, recent technological advances have yielded methods that can be safely used to study structure-function relations and their development in children's brains. These new techniques combined with more refined cognitive models account for the progress and heightened activity in developmental cognitive neuroscience research.
The handbook contains forty-one original contributions exploring basic aspects of neural development, sensory and sensorimotor systems, language, cognition, and emotion. Aided by recent results in neurobiology establishing that the human brain remains malleable and plastic throughout much of the lifespan, the contributors also explore the implications of lifelong neural plasticity for brain and behavioral development.
This book is also available online as part of MIT CogNet, The Cognitive and Brain Sciences Community online.

Development and Cognitive Neurscience finally come together!.......2003-01-08
I have long been awaiting a comprehensive text on developmental cognitive neuroscience. This book contains 41 superb articles, convering a variety of areas from neurobiology to language and cognition. It is a very good book for those wanting a quick introduction to this field. A very enjoyable book to read!
Book Description
The fourth volume in the Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development series, The Human Brain During the Late First Trimester provides new information about features of the perinatal brain. It deals with brain development during the late first trimester (GW11-GW7.5). The major theme of this volume is the identification of stretches and patches (mosaics) of the NEP matrix along the hypertrophied telencephalic, diencephalic, mesencephalic, and rhombencephalic superventricles. Many putative migratory paths of young nerons on their way to their settling sites are also identified. In the younger specimens, the brain sections are presented as they are embedded in the skull and developing facial structures. The older specimens show the onset of development of some of the large fiber tracts. Like the rest of the series, it contains photographs of the entire brain arranged in companion plates that include two parts: a large, high resolution black and white photograph and a "ghost image" of the photograph with unabbreviated labels. It is a user-friendly survey of the complex structural processes that occur during human CNS development. This volume can be purchased as part of the complete five volume set.
Book Description
The brain in the second trimester, the subject of Volume 3, is nearing anatomical maturity throughout the brainstem. In contrast, the neurogenesis and neuronal migration are still in progress in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum. Consequently, the authors chose to focus on the migration, sojourning, and settling of the neuronal populations belonging to these immature structures. These observations can help researchers develop a better understanding of normal brain development at this formative stage. In this volume, the authors offer consideration of a new concept regarding human cortical development: the identification of the stratified transitional field (STF), which continues to play an important role in later stages. Until recently regarded as simply an intermediate and transitional layer of little significance, modern imaging techniques have shown that it is in the STF where cortical neural connections are first specified. Among other salient points, the development of this field may well bring to light those disruptions during development that lead to cerebral palsy.

Book Description
Witness the dramatic unfolding of the human form in all its potential. Join John E. Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., as he takes you from the union of sperm and egg through the development of the complex circuitry that makes up the human brain. You'll learn about birth, growth, function and dysfunction, and how all these aspects influence physical, mental, and emotional well-being. For easy reference, he also maps out the central nervous system and the functions of all its parts. You'll discover problems that can alter brain and spinal cord development in each of the first eight weeks of pregnancy, and then monthly right through delivery. A Brain Is Born details some of the insults and injuries that can affect the newborn and commonsense ways to avoid them. Perhaps most importantly, he provides an outline of simple physical tests that can help determine the status of a baby's nervous system, including a step-by-step process for treating potential problems through the use of CranioSacral Therapy and related therapeutic approaches. This breakthrough book empowers parents with knowledge to help them make practical decisions concerning the health of their children.

LMT.......2006-08-13
An excellent resource book for development and function of the nervous system. Written in an easy to understand language with great illustrations to accompany otherwise complex functions within the human body.
Great book for expectant mothers.......2005-06-28
Dr. Upledger's "Brain Is Born" proves a delightful read for the curious expectant mother. This book is designed to give the lay reader detailed insight into how a baby is created and develops from fertilization until the baby is born.
I found this work fascinating. The whole time I read the book, I reminded myself to make sure and read this book when I'm pregnant. Each week Dr. Uplegder tells you want part of your baby's brain and body is growing and how your health and emotions can affect this growing process.
The frequent drawings, while not technical, serve to lighten up a subject-neurology- that would otherwise prove daunting for some readers. If your a super curious pregnant mother that wants to be well informed about your growing baby, you'll want to read this book.
Excellent book for prospective and curious parents!.......2000-03-06
I found this book to be an excellent source of information valuable to all parents interested in the brain function of their children. Dr. Upledger has a way of taking complicated subjects and making them understandable to non medical people like myself. I found the cartoon drawings very helpful in bringing humor and easing what could be overwhelming or "scary" medical information.
Mostly an advertisement; poorly written........1999-07-23
Mostly an advertisement for the author's CrainioSacral therapy, this book is poorly written and full of crude hand-drawn figures.

Book Description
There has been a remarkable increase in the number of available drugs for disorders of the CNS in recent years and there are many more novel compounds in the pipeline. But most of these compounds will be in development for many years. Although it is vital that trials are thorough, there are ways of accelerating development so that these vital drugs are available sooner. Based on evidence from real examples, this book examines options on the design of trials, and questions the need for prolonged testing in some areas. It is, therefore, an essential text for all those involved in the development of CNS drugs.

Book Description
The neurosciences have been an especially difficult field for drug discovery. Because of the huge complexity of the nervous system and poor understanding of most psychiatric and neurological diseases, most drugs currently available are the result of chance observations rather than a truly comprehensive approach. However, this situation has begun to change. Enormous progress in molecular biology has yielded breakthrough discoveries of the causes of nervous system diseases, opening the door for better-targeted and entirely novel therapies.
Reflecting these recent advances, Drug Discovery for Nervous System Diseases presents the latest techniques and approaches for drug discovery, organizing them according to diseases rather than classes of drugs or drug targets, as past books have done. Written with optimistic anticipation of great progress still to come, this text provides both a guide to present realities and a look to future possibilities in this burgeoning field.
Coverage in Drug Discovery for Nervous System Diseases includes:
* Fundamentals of drug discovery-receptors, target selection, and drug development
* Schizophrenia
* Depression
* Anxiety disorders
* Alzheimer's disease
* Parkinson's disease
* Ischemic stroke, brain, and spinal cord injury
* Other neurodegenerative diseases
* Sleep disorders
* Epilepsy
* Pain
This practical handbook features a uniform presentation for each chapter, with a brief description of existing drugs leading to recent molecular biological and genetic findings, translational research and the interface to clinical trials, and finally an outlook on future drug targets. Rich illustrations-schematic diagrams and tables-provide a dynamic visual experience throughout the text.
A unique and up-to-date guide to a field currently undergoing a major growth spurt, Drug Discovery for Nervous System Diseases offers both practitioners and advanced students an unparalleled resource.
