Description

The field of developmental neuroscience aims to explore the intricate processes underlying the formation and maturation of the nervous system, from embryonic stages through adulthood. This interdisciplinary field combines insights from neuroscience, genetics, psychology, and other disciplines to unravel the complexities of brain development. The basic architecture of the brain is formed during prenatal stages. Throughout childhood and adolescence, the brain continues to undergo significant changes, including synaptic refinement and myelination, which enhance cognitive abilities and behavioural control. Environmental factors, such as sensory experiences and social interactions, play crucial roles in shaping neural circuits. Developmental neuroscience investigates how genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors interact to influence brain development and susceptibility to neurodevelopmental disorders. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of developmental neuroscience. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. For all those who are interested in developmental neuroscience, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
