Foundations of Neural Development offers a unique perspective designed to make complex topics accessible and memorable for undergraduate students. It explores how a single microscopic cell, a human zygote, can develop into the brain--the most complex machine on Earth!

The text is purposefully structured to present topics in the chronological order of brain development. It integrates evolutionary content with philosophical ideas to help students grasp the big picture and aid in learning and retention. Featuring exceptional illustrations and clear explanations, Foundations of Neural Development combines engaging storytelling with rigorous science, guiding students through the intricacies of the topic.
