| Summary: | Neocortical Neurogenesis in Development and Evolution provides a groundbreaking and comprehensive overview of neurogenesis in the developing neocortex and its evolutionary implications. It covers the generation of neurons and their migration to their functional positions, neural patterning, cortical folding, and variations and malformations of cortical development. Readers will find: * A comprehensive review of the evolution and development of the neocortex in mammals - the part of our brain involved in the higher cognitive functions * A multitude of subject disciplines ranging from neuroscience, molecular biology, genetics, developmental biology, evolutionary biology and medicine to provide a holistic understanding of the evolutionary youngest part of the cerebral cortex * Coverage of neurogenesis in the developing neocortex and how this contributes to our understanding of the evolutionary implications
