The spectacular progress in developmental neurobiology, the dramatic
advances in (neuro)genetics and the high resolution of the modern
imaging techniques applicable to developmental disorders of the human
brain and spinal cord have created a novel insight into the
developmental history of the central nervous system (CNS). Clinical
Neuroembryology provides a comprehensive overview of the development
of the human CNS in the context of its many developmental disorders
due to genetic, environmental and hypoxic causes. It is unique in the
combination of data from human embryology, animal research and
developmental neuropathology.
