In the pages that follow, we focus on advancing our understanding of the impact of genetics,
environment, or both using three specific pediatric developmental disorders as exemplars of
key neurodevelopmental conditions. Using autism/autism spectrum disorders (ASD; predominantly
an underlying genetic predisposition), fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD; predominantly
an underlying environmental etiology), and cerebral palsy (CP; with combined genetic
and environmental contributions), we discuss neurodevelopment spanning from molecular,
behavioral, and contextual/family considerations.
Our target readership are individuals with interests in
the developing brain and how perturbations of that development can lead to neurodevelopmental
disabilities. The aim of the text is to provide clinical and basic science trainees
(residents, clinical fellows, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows) with a strong grounding
in understanding disorders of the developing brain with a view to these trainees
becoming the next generation of child neurologists, developmental pediatricians, and
developmental neuroscientists.
