We delve into the fundamental processes of neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and axon guidance, unraveling the cellular ballet that shapes the developing nervous system. The book explores molecular signaling pathways, such as neurotrophic factors and pathways like Sonic Hedgehog and Wnt, guiding cellular fate.
We investigate critical periods and neural plasticity, illustrating how experiences and environmental influences sculpt the developing brain. Insights into neurodevelopmental disorders, examining genetic and environmental factors in conditions like autism spectrum disorders and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, are provided.
Cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques, from ultrasound to functional MRI, offer unprecedented glimpses into fetal brain development. Ethical considerations are addressed, including informed consent, the psychological impact on expectant parents, and balancing clinical applications with research goals.
With comprehensive coverage, integration of neuroethics, and accessible language, "Introduction to Developmental Neurobiology" is ideal for students, researchers, healthcare professionals, and anyone fascinated by neuroscience.
