Studies of simple and emerging systems have been undertaken to un
derstand the processes by which a developing system unfolds, and to
understand more completely the basis of the complexity of the fully
formed structures. The nervous system has long been particularly in
triguing for such studies, because of the early recognition of a
multitude of distinctly differentiated states exhibited by nerve
cells with different morphologies. Anatomical studies suggest that
one liver cell may be very like another, but indicate that neurons
come in a remarkable di versity of forms. This diversity at the
anatomical level has parallels at the physiological and biochemical
levels. It is becoming increasingly easy to characterize the
different cellular phenotypes of neurons. The repeatability with
which these phenotypes are expressed may account in part for the
specificity and reliability with which neurons form con nections,
and it has allowed precise description of the first appearance and
further development of the differentiated characteristics of
individ ual neurons from relatively undifferentiated precursor
cells. This rep resents a major advance over our knowledge of
development at the level of tissues, and makes it feasible to
define and address questions about the underlying molecular
mechanisms involved. Central to these advances has been the clear
recognition that there is no single best preparation for the study
of neuronal development. Furthermore, it has become evident that no
single technique can tell us all we want to know."
