9780306440908: The Changing Visual System: Maturation and Aging in the Central Nervous System: v. 222

Sinossi

The proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on [title], held May/June 1991, in San Martino al Cimino (Viterbo), Italy, which brought together specialists working at all phases of the life span (embryology, infancy, childhood, middle life, and senescence) in both animals and humans in the search for common principles which could prove important for understanding developmental changes in the central nervous system and visual behavior within the context of a continuum of life-span processes rather than viewing them as events or mechanisms that occur only in a certain period.
