Diagnosis, Management and Modeling of Neurodevelopmental Disorders by Martin, Colin R.; Preedy, Victor R.; Rajendram, Rajkumar;

Hosszú leírás:

Diagnosis, Management and Modeling of Neurodevelopmental Disorders: The Neuroscience of Development is a comprehensive reference on the diagnosis and management of neurodevelopment and associated disorders. The book discusses the mechanisms underlying neurological development and provides readers with a detailed introduction to the neural connections and complexities in biological circuitries, as well as the interactions between genetics, epigenetics and other micro-environmental processes. In addition, the book also examines the pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions of development-related conditions.

• Provides the most comprehensive coverage of the broad range of topics relating to the neuroscience of aging
• Features sections on the genetics that influences aging and diseases of aging
• Contains an abstract, key facts, a mini dictionary of terms, and summary points in each chapter
• Focuses on neurological diseases and conditions linked to aging, environmental factors and clinical recommendations
• Includes more than 500 illustrations and tables
