Specificity in Neurogenesis

  • Chapter
  • 161 Accesses

Abstract

A consideration of neurogenesis touches on several basic problems of cell differentiation and cell interactions. The great diversity of neuron types supplies us with an abundant material for the study of the origin of cell strain specificity. Cell interactions occur during neurogenesis in a great variety of situations, and in all of them, problems of specificity and selective affinity assume a major importance.
