Nervous system regneration in the invertebrates

This book examines what we know about neural regeneration from studies of invertebrates. Although invertebrates exhibit a diversity of regeneration strategies, invertebrates and vertebrates share the molecular language that governs initial responses to injury, activation of repair, and the specificity of pathfinding and synaptogenesis. From coelenterates and flatworms to molluscs, arthropods and tunicates, neural systems have been discovered that are ideal for investigating phenomena underlying successful regeneration.
