Product Description

This book fills a gap in developmental books dealing with the normal prenatal mammalian brain. Most books that approach this topic work with non-human, non-vertebrate models. Mammalian Brain Development focuses on both the pre-natal and the peri-natal events that lead to brain damage as seen in the prospective of medical and research professionals, as well as examining the traditional “nature versus nurture” argument in the spectrum of brain development. The major topics addressed, in detail, in the book are sexual dimorphism, epigenetic action of gonadal hormones, environmental “programming” effects, autism, developmental learning disorders, seizures, and the etiopathogenesis of epileptic syndromes in young humans. The book also covers the general aspects of postnatal and pediatric neurological disorders in a unique and novel way by offering definitions of heredity, inheritance, genetic-epigenetic, genomic, molecular, developmental, and innate aspects of the mammalian brain in regards to its development.

Awesome.
My son has a traumatic brain injury and right side hemiphagia.He doesn't talk, eat, or walk.I have purchased many books over the past year to help me help him.This book is the best practical guide with great illustrations and common sense suggestions for hemiphagia patients.I am looking forward to reading her other book (Starting Again).

Good guide for caregivers
The book gives a well presented description of the ailment and how to go about the rehabilitation of the patient.

wrong edition
way to old of an edition for me to use for school, I'm not sure if I read it wrong or it wasnt' listed.I can't get back to the description.

Good book, but advanced
A very good book, but advanced for the new grad (at least it was for me). It does contain wonderful information and utilizes NDT. It certainly is easier to understand after an intro NDT course teaches the basics. I dig this book out from time to time to freshen up my skills with CVA patients.
