Neuronal death is essential for normal development of the central nervous system. Without it, the nervous system can become overpopulated with poorly integrated neurons and circuitry that produces functional deficits. This chapter considers in vitro and in vivo studies of neuronal death.
Keywords: neurons, neuronal death, functional deficits, central nervous system
