The impacts of specifically experienced external and internal
environments upon phylogenetically established pathways of
ontogenetic development seem to be responsible for the
intra-species variation of organisms. Therefore normal function, as
well as disorders of sensory systems, can often be better
understood by considering the principles of ontogenetic maturation
and the time schedule of environmental influences during that
period. Sensory organs and systems have long been considered to be
hereditally determin ed for their analysis of the environment.
However, it is becoming more and more clear that their specificity
depends also upon the sequence and nature of environ mental
impacts, impacts during highly sensitive periods of postnatal life
being most effective. The present book, using an interdisciplinary
approach, has brought together various descriptions of
developmental processes for one of the phylogenetically oldest
sensory analytical circuits, the olfactory system. Although
investigations of a wide range of vertebrates are included, from
marsupials to man, the main attention was given to rodents, the
most frequently used experimental animal in this fields of
research. Authors have been asked for reviews and original
considerations on the rationales of developmental principles in the
olfactory system, and wherever appropriate to highlight its
uniqueness or similarities with other parts of the nervous system.
Authors were also asked to consider future needs of research in
their fields, to describe their own approaches in this context, and
to outline general horizons of neurodevelopmental research."
