This volume presents the proceedings of a specialized conference held in November 1969, focusing on the development of the nervous system. Sponsored by UCLA's Brain Research Institute, the conference gathered leading experts from multiple disciplines to discuss the latest findings in neural growth and differentiation. With an emphasis on both morphological and biochemical approaches, the event highlighted groundbreaking research using advanced techniques such as electron microscopy, radioactive tracers, and tissue cultures. Featuring contributions from 38 prominent investigators, the conference offered a platform for the free exchange of ideas between morphologists and biochemists, fostering a collaborative environment. The volume compiles 15 major presentations on diverse topics, alongside shorter reports and rich discussions. Edited with care, this publication captures the evolving landscape of developmental neuroscience, underscoring the importance of interdisciplinary research in unraveling the complexities of neural growth.
