Short description
How do transcription factors control development of the nervous system and of brain function? This first book to cover neural development, neuronal survival and function on the genetic level is edited by an internationally renowned coworker of the Nobel Laureate Paul Greengard. The up-to-date contributions are rounded off by a chapter on the role of CREB and CBP in brain function written by Nobel laureate Eric Kandel.
