Development and Regenerative Capacity of Descending Supraspinal Pathways in Tetrapods: A Comparative Approach /

In this treatise, current knowledge on the neurogenesis, axonal outgrowth, synaptogenesis, and regenerative capacity of descending supraspinal pathways in tetrapods is discussed. Although emphasis is on the clawed toad, Xenopus laevis, chicken embryos, opossum and rodent data, also the data availabl...
