Produktbeschreibung

"One can predict that this authoritative collection of essays, representing almost all of the leading workers in this important and growing field of research, will move autism research into a rightfully prominent place in modern medicine."
-- Paul Greengard, Nobel Laureate
Integrating basic and clinical neuroscience perspectives, this work presents a comprehensive perspective on current autism research including epidemiology, genetics, and clinical neuroscience and neural systems. It stimulates new directions for research and the development of new drug treatment. An underlying theme focuses on future genomic research. The text also explores social, economic, and advocacy issues.
