[The neurobiology of the successive stages of life (author's transl)].
The neurobiological sciences deal with morphological, physiological, biochemical, and pharmacological investigations of neurobiological processes and mechanisms. In addition, they are interested in living organisms as action systems, with their forms of motion, types of behavior, and means of adapting to the environment. The topic "The Neurobiology of the Successive Stages of Life" covers the entire span of life, from the induction of the neural tube to senescence and death, i.e. the sum total of all continuous changes which are described by such terms as development, differentiation, specialization, individuation, functional maturity, and ageing. The following gives a survey from a special neurological-neuroanatomical point of view, it deals with the early development of prenatal activities, forms of movement, and refled differentiation cycles in regard to neurofibrillation, myelination, and cytological-cytoarchetectonic structures. Paul Yakovlev's and Peter Kuzmich Anokhin's interpretations of such selective morphological-functional maturation processes inherent in the system are discussed. There follows a brief survey of varying metabolic systems in close connection with the differentiation of nerve and glia cells and capillarization processes. The subject of early programmed cell death, nerve-cell degeneration, and heterotopia during the development, differentiation, and maturation of the central nervous system leads to a discussion of the likewise selective system-bound processes that take place during senescence of the central nervous system.
