Brain Development Normal Processes And the Effects of Alcohol And Nicotine

"Miller has gathered an impressive array of scientists who provide the reader with an up-to-date perspective on the most detailed aspects of mammalian brain development, and an opportunity to place in a translational context the molecular and cellular nature of neurodevelopmental disruption by two major neurotoxins, ethanol and nicotine. Chapters are accompanied by formidable primary data figures and summary diagrams, simplifying the connections that can be made between chapters. Miller's own research career reflects the sound marriage of basic and translational neuroscience, and this volume epitomizes this philosophy. Those clinicians and basic neuroscientists who are interested in gaining a modern understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that underlie altered neural development due to nicotine or ethanol exposure will find this a very worthwhile reference text." -Pat Levitt Director, Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development Professor of Pharmacology Vanderbilt UniversityMiller, Michael W. is the author of 'Brain Development Normal Processes And the Effects of Alcohol And Nicotine', published 2006 under ISBN 9780195183139 and ISBN 0195183134.
