Neuronal Growth Cones

Neuronal Growth Cones by Phillip R. Gordon-Weeks, published by Cambridge University Press on October 6, 2005, is a comprehensive exploration of the molecular biology surrounding growth cones, which are the conical-like endings of growing axons. This new edition spans 276 pages and is presented in English, offering an in-depth examination of the morphology and behavior of growth cones, including aspects such as motility, neurite extension, and intracellular signaling.

Readers will find a detailed and critical analysis of growth cone biology, making this book a valuable resource for advanced graduate students, postgraduates, and researchers in fields such as cellular and molecular neuroscience, developmental biology, and anatomy. The work delves into topics like pathfinding and synaptogenesis, providing insights into the complex processes that govern neuronal development.
