Advances in the cognitive neuroscience of neurodevelopmental disorders : views from child psychiatry and medical genetics / by William M. McMahon Summary "Until recently, genetic, neuroanatomical, and psychological investigations on neurodevelopmental disorders were carried out independently. Now, tremendous advances across all disciplines have brought us toward a new scientific frontier: the integration of molecular genetics with a developmental cognitive neuroscience. The goal is to understand the basic mechanisms by which genes and environmental processes contribute to the development of specific structures and regions of the brain." "This handbook-style volume explores these advances from the perspective of developmental disorders in children."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Developmental disabilities -- Etiology Pediatric neuropsychology.
