5.0 out of 5 stars A scientific review by leading researchers in the field
This is not a textbook for students but an excellent series of reviews by top level scientists in the neural development domain. Very detailed information on the subject with a good parallel between drosophila and vertebrate studies. An absolute requirement in the lab.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a good text for learning neural development
I was unfortunate enough to take a class on neural development where this text was our primary text. The book is written in the format of what appears to be journal articles, or reviews by various authors on the different subjects. It is not written in textbook style.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a good text for learning neural development, April 19, 2000
This review is from: Molecular and Cellular Approaches to Neural Development (Hardcover)
I was unfortunate enough to take a class on neural development where this text was our primary text. The book is written in the format of what appears to be journal articles, or reviews by various authors on the different subjects. It is not written in textbook style. Furthermore, in this manner of writing, the book does not provide enough background information on the subjects that it covers. It automatically assumes that the reader fully understands the subjects that it is intending to teach. I do not recommend this as a primary text for a class. It would serve a wonderful job as a supplement for a class or to provide someone knowledgable in developmental neuroscience a "refresher" or update on what is currently known in this subject. However, I do not feel that it should be used to TEACH developmental neuroscience.
