Abstract
The function of nervous system is dependent on the formation during development of a complex structure, arising from the emergence of diverse cell populations and from their specific connections. Specific cell interactions taking place during development give origin to a tissue architecture, which shows peculiar aspects in the different regions of the nervous system. The expression of the genetic program encoding specific cell types and their organization in the various structures of the nervous system is dependent on early developmental events.
