The goal of this series is to provide a comprehensive state-of-the art overview of how the brain develops and those processes that affect it. Topics range from the fundamentals of axonal guidance and synaptogenesis prenatally to the influence of hormones, sex, stress, maternal care and injury during the early postnatal period to an additional critical period at puberty. Easily accessible expert reviews combine analyses of detailed cellular mechanisms with interpretations of significance and broader impact of the topic area on the field of neuroscience and the understanding of brain and behavior.
