Proceedings of the Taniguchi Symposia on Brain Sciences, Volume 6: Neuronal Growth and Plasticity

Current information on neuronal plasticity is still fragmentary. This book contains papers presented at an international symposium specifically convened to discuss and provide a state-of-the-art report on research in this area. The book includes presentations from several leading research workers in Japan and the USA. The contributions cover a broad spectrum of plastic phenomena in the nervous system with a view to elucidating the mechanisms underlying neuronal plasticity.
