This book discusses the main milestones of early brain development
and the emergence of consciousness, within and outside the mother's
environment, with a particular focus on the preterm infant. These
insights offer new perspectives on issues concerning fetal pain,
awareness in newborns, and the effects of current digital media on
the developing infant brain. Among the topics covered: * Brain
patterning, neural proliferation, and migration. * The stress of
being born and first breaths. * The stream of consciousness. *
Parenting and stimulating the brain of the child. * The moral
status of the fetus and the infant. Infant Brain Development is an
excellent resource for researchers, clinicians and related
professionals, and graduate students across a variety of
disciplines including developmental psychology, pediatrics,
neurobiology, neuroscience, obstetrics, nursing and medical ethics.
It is written with historic and philosophical remarks of interest
for a broad readership. --- "This book is a joy to read for anyone
interested in understanding where biology is heading in the 21st
century, and it is essential for those who work in child
development." Eric Kandel, University Professor, Columbia
University, Co-Director, Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior
Institute, Nobel Laureate in Medicine 2000 "With the precision of a
scientist, the depth of a philosopher, and the heart and
sensitivity of a pediatrician, Hugo Lagercrantz weaves a story as
readable and engrossing as any mystery novel, linking brain, genes,
the environment, and behavior to explain the development of the
mind of a newborn. A tour de force!" Patricia K. Kuhl, The Bezos
Family Foundation Endowed Chair in Early Childhood Learning,
Co-Director, Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences,
University of Washington "This book is a noble and valiant effort
by Dr. Lagercrantz to explain the immensely complex issue of normal
and pathological development of the human brain in simple terms
that are accessible to the general public." Pasko Rakic, Duberg
Professor of Neuroscience and Neurology, Yale University School of
Medicine
