Abstract
Having introduced the essential building blocks of the nervous system in the previous chapter and having discussed their morphology, a closer look will be directed in this chapter toward the development and differentiation of neuronal systems. In particular, the cell-specific and molecular fundamentals of neuronal differentiation, i.e., the morphogenesis of larger neuronal assemblies in the central nervous system in vertebrates, will be examined in greater detail. An understanding of the processes upon which development is based leads to an understanding of the way in which the nervous system functions. These processes also constitute the basis for higher associative brain functions, in particular, the formation of the more complex functions of learning and memory.
