Brain Stem Cells provides a detailed analysis of the mechanisms which underline both the neuronal and cortical development of the brain. Recent studies have led to the identification and characterisation of brain stem cells and it is now clear that these cells continue to develop throughout adult life. This raises the prospect of treating brain-damaged patients with neurons cultured from their own stem cells. Written by leading experts in the field, this book will be essential reading for all those with an interest in this fast-developing area.
