Summary: "Genetic disorders that affect neurodevelopment are informative for understanding the relations between genes, brain, and behavior and for testing cognitive models. The chapters in the first section of this volume deal with three major neurogenetic disorders, fragile X diagnosed through its genotype often as a consequence of developmental delays, spina bifida identified in utero or at birth based on its physical phenotype - the spinal lesion, and autism, diagnosed through its behavioral phenotype in childhood, increasingly in the early preschool years"--Provided by publisher

内容説明・目次

内容説明

Genetic syndromes and neurodevelopmental disorders that have a genetic basis are associated with cognitive and academic disabilities. Genes, Brain and Development reviews the connections between genes, brain, and behavior for a range of genetic disorders, and also considers lifespan and treatment issues. The content further explores what is known about development in neurogenetic disorders, particularly in the domains of language and mathematics, and shows how this knowledge is pertinent to understanding both these specific disorders, and disorders of language and math more generally. This will be essential reading for a wide range of brain scientists and developmental clinicians, including neuropsychologists, cognitive psychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, neuroscientists and geneticists.
