The genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms of neural development are essential for understanding evolution and disorders of neural systems. Recent advances in genetic, molecular, and cell biological methods have generated a massive increase in new information, but there is a paucity of comprehensive and up-to-date syntheses, references, and historical perspectives on this important subject. The Comprehensive Developmental Neuroscience series is designed to fill this gap, offering the most thorough coverage of this field on the market today and addressing all aspects of how the nervous system and its components develop. Particular attention is paid to the effects of abnormal development and on new psychiatric/neurological treatments being developed based on our increased understanding of developmental mechanisms. Each volume in the series consists of review style articles that average 15-20pp and feature numerous illustrations and full references. Volume 3 offers 40 high level articles devoted mainly to anatomical and functional development of neural circuits and neural systems, as well as those that address neurodevelopmental disorders in humans and experimental organisms.

Index
Dr. Rubenstein is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at
the University of California, San Francisco. He also serves as a
Nina Ireland Distinguished Professor in Child Psychiatry at the
Nina Ireland Laboratory of Developmental Neurobiology. His research
focuses on the regulatory genes that orchestrate development of the
forebrain. Dr. Rubenstein's lab has demonstrated the role of
specific genes in regulating neuronal specification,
differentiation, migration and axon growth during embryonic
development and on through adult life. His work may help to explain
some of the mechanisms underlying human neurodevelopmental
disorders such as autism. Dr. Rakic is currently at the Yale School
of Medicine, Department of Neuroscience, where his main research
interest is in the development and evolution of the human brain.
After obtaining his MD from the University of Belgrade School of
Medicine, his research career began in 1962 with a Fulbright
Fellowship at Harvard University after which he obtained his
graduate degrees in Developmental Biology and Genetics. He held a
faculty position at Harvard Medical School for 8 years prior to
moving to Yale University, where he founded and served as Chair of
the Department of Neurobiology for 37 years, and also founder and
director of the Kavli Institute for Neuroscience. In 2015, he
returned to work full-time on his research projects, funded by US
Public Health Services and various private foundations.
He is well known for his studies of the development and evolution
of the brain, in particular his discovery of basic cellular and
molecular mechanisms of proliferation and migration of neurons in
the cerebral cortex. He was president of the Society for
Neuroscience and popularized this field with numerous lectures
given in over 35 counties. In 2008, Rakic shared the inaugural
Kavli Prize in Neuroscience with Thomas Jessell and Stan Grillner.
He is currently the Dorys McConell Duberg Professor of Neuroscience
and serves on Advisory Boards and Scientific Councils of a number
of Institutions and Research Foundations.
"This is a comprehensive and information-packed book on neural
circuit development and function. There have been tremendous
advances over the past several years in understanding brain
function as it relates to structure, but this information has not
been easily accessible by clinicians and researchers. This book,
written and edited by outstanding researchers in the field,
provides this important information in an organized and relevant
fashion… I highly recommend it." Rating: 3 Stars --Doody.com,
January 17, 2014
"This is the third of a three volume series that is intended to
summarize the current state of developmental neuroscience. There
are three sections with Rubenstein and Rakic as chief editors and
each section having a section editor tasked with peer reviewing the
articles therein." --Reference & Research Book News, December 2013
