Intracellular Mechanisms for Neuritogenesis aims to present this topic to the general readership of neurobiologists and molecular and cellular biologists to further stimulate the interest into this exciting section of neurobiology.

Intracellular Mechanisms for Neuritogenesis could represent a reference for researchers directly involved in the study of neuronal development, and a textbook for PhD courses in molecular neurobiology.
