Book synopsis

"Environmental Neurodevelopment" goes beyond the genetic, illuminating the external factors that can dramatically impact neurodevelopment early in life and, consequently, the eventual accomplishment of developmental milestones and the construction of adult behavior and personality. The text surveys preexisting literature on the effects of environment versus genetics, but also discusses newer studies on the impacts of neurodevelopment in terms of maternal stimulation, environmental enrichment and sensory deprivation. The book will also include key examples of environmental impact on preexisting genetic syndromes leading to developmental disabilities. Special attention will also be given to the impact of early adverse experience in primates, as well as neurobiological and behavioral consequences in institutionalized human children (and the reversability of such consequences). The book will cover a broad area of research in the field of developmental neurobiology and offers a unique combination of different examples of environmental factors affecting brain development and behavior.
