About the Book

Foundations of Neural Development offers a unique perspective designed to make complex topics accessible and memorable for undergraduate students. It explores how a single microscopic cell, a human zygote, can develop into the brain--the most complex machine on Earth!The text is purposefully structured to present topics in the chronological order of brain development. It integrates evolutionary content with philosophical ideas to help students grasp the big picture and aid in learning and retention. Featuring exceptional illustrations and clear explanations, Foundations of Neural Development combines engaging storytelling with rigorous science, guiding students through the intricacies of the topic.

Review :
Easy to read, thorough, beautiful figures, focuses on scientific process as well as content in a very undergrad-appropriate level. [Foundations of Neural Development] balances a conversational tone with evidence-based explanations. This is the ONLY textbook on neurodevelopment that contains a mix of approaches for neurodevelopment. The learning objectives within the chapters are well written, clear, learner centered, and measurable. The extensive references to the primary research literature are helpful, and so important as a demonstration to students for how to write a review of the literature. I love this text book; it's the only one I have opted to require for courses I teach. Every semester, I have students who say [Foundations of Neural Development] is their favorite textbook of all their science courses they've had in college. It's wonderful.
