Developmental Disorders of the Frontostriatal System

More about the book

Initial chapters cover the anatomy and physiology of the frontostriatal system, and the distinction between neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders, while the final chapter offers an integrative interpretation and comparison." "The result is a discussion of these disorders that draws upon biology, genetics, neuropsychology, neuropathology, neuroimaging, and clinical presentation and treatment, and presents a controversial theoretical appraisal of the very concept of neuropsychiatric dysfunction. It will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and practitioners in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, psychiatry, and clinical psychology."--BOOK JACKET.
