Developmental Disorders of the Brain: Brain and Behaviour addresses
disabilities that occur or have their roots in the early,
developmental phase of life which are of utmost concern to parents,
siblings, carers and teachers. This text describes the latest
clinical and behavioral findings of disorders which largely or
entirely involve the frontostriatal (basal ganglia) system
including Tourette's, Obsessive-Compulsive and
Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity disorders, Schizophrenia, Autism,
gambling and addiction, depression, and Conduct, Developmental
Motor Co-ordination, and language disorders. Examples of disorders
involving the frontocerebellar are also described such as
Asperger's disorder, Williams, Fragile X, and Cerebellar Cognitive
Affective syndromes, and Friedreich Ataxia. This book also
discusses the relevant anatomy, physiology and pathology, and some
of the major functions mediated by affected or relevant structures,
together with accounts of the latest recording, brain imaging and
stimulating techniques related to these kinds of disorders.
Covering both frontostriatal and frontocerebellar, systems which
control and direct normal behavior, and which can fail with often
distressing consequences during development, as well as addressing
behavioural, clinical, pathophysiological and technical aspects,
this text is vital to understanding, diagnosis and management of
developmental disorders of the brain. This text will be of great
interest to clinicians, researchers, teachers and parents.
