Recent advances in molecular genetics, neuroanatomy, physiology, imaging, and computational modeling have enabled unprecedented insights into the mechanisms that shape neural circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey themes explored in the book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe evolutionary divergence and convergence of circuit motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe conserved molecular and developmental building blocks that underlie connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe selective pressures that sculpt neural systems to support behavior and cognition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters cover topics ranging from retinal mapping and interneuron diversity to thalamocortical connectivity, prefrontal circuit maturation, and the computational modeling of both normal and abnormal circuit development. Collectively, these essays reveal how molecular signaling, cellular variability, and theoretical principles converge to shape the formation and function of circuits across vertebrate and invertebrate brains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy combining evolutionary and developmental frameworks, this volume offers both specialists and newcomers a broad and integrative view of how neural circuits emerge and operate, providing a resource for neuroscientists at every level of training who seek to understand the principles of brain design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Andreae,Justus Kebschull,Tony Zador\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621824848","brand":"Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45090165784713,"sku":"9781621824848","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e7b3ad53-d2b9-47b8-bc4b-fd97ee0bfba1.jpg?v=1766478179","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/evolution-development-of-neural-circuits-9781621824848","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
