The Chemistry and Mode of Action of Plant Growth Substances

In the last section of the book genetic, hormonal, and enzymatic factors affecting the growth of the nervous system are taken under consideration. Excellent reviews of genetic aspects are given by S. Gluecksohn-Waelsch and L. S. Penrose. G. W. Harris contributes a thoughtful chapter on the relationship between endocrine activity and the development of the nervous system. Although most of the material presented in this book has been published in some other form in scientific and clinical journals, it has the merit of bringing together a great deal of information on the biochemistry of the developing nervous system. There is an adequate index.
