title: Biology and pathobiology of neuronal development.
abstract: Differentiation of neurons within the central nervous system occurs by the combined effects of intrinsic genetic programs and epigenetic stimuli. Disorders causing mental retardation and other abnormalities of higher cortical function arise by disturbances of the normal developmental sequence. MRDD Research Reviews 6:41-46, 2000.
