Humana Genetics and Genomics of Neurobehavioral Disorders

Gain a clear and comprehensive understanding of how genetic abnormalities, neurobiology, and neuropsychology work together to manifest cognitive-behavioral dysfunction. This text provides a detailed account of the current status of research regarding autosomal disorders that lead to cognitive-behavioral dysfunction. By integrating molecular, genomic, neuropsychological, and neurobehavioral factors, this work creates a coherent framework for understanding learning disabilities and mental retardation. It examines both syndromal and nonsyndromal disorders, offering an up-to-date resource for those studying the complex connections between genetics and brain function. This book serves as an essential guide for professionals needing a modern perspective on the biological foundations of neurobehavioral conditions.
