"This relatively succinct volume successfully meets the challenge of summarizing a field as broad as developmental neuroscience. While it could not comprehensively address every disorder, the examples are well chosen and highlight advances from diverse disciplines that are leading to major improvement in our understanding of these complex and often rare conditions. There is a problematic chapter on the "autisms," but the authors do an admirable job. They describe specific syndromes, rare genetic variants, and environmental etiologies. This can help to explain endophenotypes and may point to more broad applications for understanding developmental pathways leading to new treatments." --Doody Reviews
Neurodevelopmental Disorders, the latest release in the Comprehensive Developmental Neuroscience series, presents the most thorough coverage available, addressing all aspects on how the nervous system and its components develop. This book brings together the latest research in this rapidly evolving field, with section editors discussing the technological advances that are enabling the pursuit of new research on brain development. This volume focuses on neurodevelopmental disorders in humans and experimental organisms. Particular attention is paid to the effects of abnormal development and on new psychiatric/neurological treatments being developed based on our increased understanding of developmental mechanisms.
