About The Author

S. Marc Breedlove

S. Marc Breedlove

Dr. Stephen Marc Breedlove, the Barnett Rosenberg Professor of Neuroscience at Michigan State University, has written more than 125 scientific articles investigating the role of hormones in shaping the developing and adult nervous system, publishing in journals including Nature, Science, Nature Neuroscience, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

Dr. Breedlove is also passionate about teaching in the classroom, and in the greater community through interviews with the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Washington Post, and Newsweek, as well as broadcast programs such as Good Morning America, All Things Considered, and Sixty Minutes. He has active grant support from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the National Institute of Mental Health. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Association for Psychological Science.

Breedlove’s Foundations of Neural Development (PDF) is a textbook with a conversational writing style and topics appropriate for an undergraduate audience. Each chapter begins with a thought-provoking vignette, or a “real-life story,” that the subsequent material illuminates. The “Researchers at Work”
feature, available in every chapter, describes a classic study in detail, taking the reader through an experiment’s hypothesis, test, result, and conclusion. A marginal glossary, review questions, and bulleted summary are other features in the ebook. Chapters 1-7 unfold in the order of ontogeny, covering induction, the establishment of a body plan, neural migration, differentiation, axonal pathfinding, synapse formation, and apoptosis. Chapters 8-10 address activity-guided, experience-guided, and socially guided neural development–mechanisms that were crucial for the evolution of the human brain. Lively and engaging, with the finest illustrations, Foundations of Neural Development is the perfect ebook to help any undergraduate student understand how a single microscopic cell, a human zygote, can develop into the most complex machine on earth, the brain.
