内容説明
Development of the brain and the emergence of the mind constitute some of the most important concerns of contemporary biology. Disturbances during fetal life may have profound implications for a child's future neurological and psychological development, which can in turn impact society. The new edition of this highly respected work presents a comprehensive review of the basic mechanisms of brain development and the pathophysiology of disorders of the infant brain, written by a team of distinguished neuroscientists, neonatologists, and neuropediatricians. The book follows the main milestones of brain development, from formation of the neural tube and wiring of the neurons in the brain. Neurotrophic factors, neurotransmitters, glial cell biology, cerebral circulation development of sensory functions are all described in detail. Furthermore, there are more philosophical chapters on the evolution of the brain and the emergence of consciousness. Clinical considerations are highlighted where relevant.
Book Description
The development of the human brain is one of the most important concerns of contemporary biology, with profound implications for medicine and society. In this book, a distinguished international team of clinicians, neuroscientists, and geneticists presents recent findings about the basic mechanisms of brain development and the pathophysiology of the infant brain. The book follows the major milestones of brain development, from the formation of the neural tube, through neurogenesis, neuronal migration, and the organization of brain wiring. The book describes neurotrophic factors, transmitters, glial cell biology, cerebral circulation, and the development of sensory functions in detail, and emphasizes the clinical applications of basic neuroscience. Coverage extends from the normal to the disordered brain in preterm and full term infants.
