Preface
Neural differentiation is an early embryonic event that occurs soon after germ layer specification. In vertebrates, the early ectoderm undergoes further patterning to separate into two identifiable components: the presumptive neural ectoderm and the presumptive epidermis. Neural ectoderm tissue segregates as a clearly demarcated epithelium termed the neuropeithelium (or neuroectoderm). This neuroepithelium generates all of the major components of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), including the neural cres
