Explore the intricate development and regenerative potential of descending supraspinal pathways in tetrapods with this comparative study from The Bookish Owl. Delving into neurogenesis, axonal outgrowth, and synaptogenesis, this book offers a comprehensive overview, with a special focus on Xenopus laevis, chicken embryos, opossums, and rodents, while also incorporating data from primates, including humans. Discover how these pathways form through coordinated programs, follow a similar developmental pattern across vertebrates, and how their regenerative capacity is intricately linked to their developmental stage. Essential reading for researchers and students in neuroscience, developmental biology, and comparative anatomy seeking to understand spinal cord development and regeneration.
