Programmed Cell Death

  • Chapter
Developmental Neurobiology

Summary

Programmed cell death research has had an arguably unparalleled impact on the field of developmental neurobiology. For over one hundred years, investigations of neuronal cell death have challenged our assumptions about nervous system development and its cellular and molecular regulation. Current studies on programmed cell death, including investigations of neural stem cell death, hold tremendous promise for elucidating the complex processes involved in normal mammalian nervous system development.
