The Neurobiology of Brain and Behavioral DevelopmentAuthor(s): Robbin Gibb, Bryan Kolb\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Academic Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780128040362, 978-0128040362\nSynopsis\nThe Neurobiology of Brain and Behavioral Development provides an overview of the process of brain development, including recent discoveries on how the brain develops. This book collates and integrates these findings, weaving the latest information with core information on the neurobiology of brain development. It focuses on cortical development, but also features discussions on how the other parts of the brain wire into the developing cerebral cortex. A systems approach is used to describe the anatomical underpinnings of behavioral development, connecting anatomical and molecular features of brain development with behavioral [url] disruptors of typical brain development are discussed in appropriate sections, as is the science of epigenetics .
