Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Provides comprehensive coverage of the field of nerve growth and guidance by individuals at the forefront of their area of expertise. The text includes two contributions on electrical field effects on neuronal growth, in vitro and in vivo, which are linked to each other in the other chapters.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
