Mammalian Subventricular Zones - Their Roles in Brain Development, Cell Replacement, and Disease

This text provides a comprehensive summary of research and findings that have lead to the current understanding of the subventricular zones. It provides an overview of the roles of subventricular zones in normal development and in disease and a foundation from which current and future studies can be evaluated.
