Try these for starters:
Raff MC. Barres BA. Burne JF. Coles HS. Ishizaki Y. Jacobson MD.
Programmed cell death and the control of cell survival: lessons from the
nervous system. Science. 262(5134):695-700, 1993 Oct 29.
For an older and more historical review, see Chapter 6 in the book by
Purves and Lichtman: Principles of Neural Development (1985)
Or for a more extensive review of the literature prior to 1991 see:
Oppenheim R W Cell death during development of the nervous system Ann.
Rev. Neurosci. 14: 453-501.
