Mammalian Subventricular Zones provides a comprehensive summary of research and findings that have lead to the current understanding of the subventricular zones.

Mammalian Subventricular Zones provides an overview of the roles of subventricular zones in normal development and in disease and a foundation from which current and future studies can be evaluated.
