Nurture or nature? Biology or environment? Why are some people
intelligent, or personable, or creative and others obtuse, or shy,
or unimaginative? Although each human being is a unique mixture of
positive and negative traits and behaviors, the question remains:
What is the neurobiological basis for each individuala (TM)s
makeup? For example, why does one person suffer from a disorder
(e.g., ADHD, autism, mental retardation) and another lives free of
maladies?
These are just some of the issues addressed in detail in
Neurobiology of Exceptionality. The introductory chapter provides a
broad-based overview of current neurobiological techniques (i.e.,
terms, procedures, and technologies), which are followed by
chapters that offer in-depth examination of the neurobiological
bases for:
a [ Impulsive sensation seeking
a [ Creativity
a [ Intelligence
a [ Antisociality
a [ Autism, mental retardation, and Down Syndrome
a [ ADHD
a [ Savant Syndrome
This volume provides a one-stop source for clinical
psychologists and other allied mental health professionals to
access information on a wide range of research on the neurobiology
of psychological and psychiatric traits. It is designed to give
readers an overview of the current knowledge base of the biological
processes for each trait. Ita (TM)s unlikely that any one book
could cover all human traits, but the Neurobiology of
Exceptionality addresses a wide range of exceptional psychological
traits and psychiatric disorders.
