Diagnosis, Management and Modeling of Neurodevelopmental Disorders: The Neuroscience of Development

This comprehensive reference provides an in-depth look at the diagnosis and management of neurodevelopmental disorders. It delves into the neural connections and complexities in biological circuitries, as well as the interactions between genetics, epigenetics, and other micro-environmental processes. The book also covers pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for development-related conditions.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive coverage of topics related to the neuroscience of development
• Sections on diagnosis and biomarkers
• Each chapter includes an abstract, key facts, mini dictionary of terms, and summary points
• Focus on neurodevelopmental disorders and environmental factors influencing neural development
• Over 500 illustrations and tables

Factors Affecting Neurodevelopment: Genetics, Neurology, Behavior, and Diet

This book offers a detailed exploration of the genetic and behavioral features associated with proper and abnormal development. It discusses the mechanisms underlying neurological development, providing readers with insights into neural connections and complexities in biological circuitries, as well as physiological, behavioral, molecular, and cellular features of neurodevelopment. In vitro and in vivo modeling of development with stem cells and model systems are also examined.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive coverage of topics related to the neuroscience of development
• Sections on the genetics of developmental conditions and accompanying behavior
• Each chapter includes an abstract, key facts, mini dictionary of terms, and summary points
• Focus on neurodevelopmental disorders and environmental factors influencing neural development
• Over 500 illustrations and tables
