The fundamentals of brain development : integrating nature and nurture

Author:	Joan Stiles
Publisher:	Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, 2008.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"In a synthesis of the vast research of the last two decades, a leading developmental neuroscientist provides psychologists with a sophisticated introduction to the brain - the system that underpins all the functions they study. Knowledge of brain development can enrich discussion of developmental processes and more rigorously define the terms that are central to psychological debates." "In clear terms, with ample illustrations, Joan Stiles explains the complexities of genetic variation and transcription, and the variable paths of neural development, from embryology through early childhood. She describes early developmental processes at multiple levels of organization, from gene expression to physiology to behavior. Sections on clinical correlations show the consequences of disturbances in neural development for physiological, neurological, or psychological development." "As Stiles shows, brain development is far more complex and dynamic than is often assumed in debates about nature vs. nurture, nativism vs. cultural learning. Inherited and experienced factors interact constantly in an ever-changing organism. The key question is, what developmental processes give rise to particular structures or mechanisms?" "Mastering fundamental neurobiology - and seeing how much remains to be discovered - will illuminate and strengthen current and future theories of conceptual and social development, normality and pathology. A landmark of synthesis and interdisciplinary illumination, The Fundamentals of Brain Development will be an invaluable resource for students and senior scientists alike."--Jacket.  Read more...
