Developmental neuropsychiatry: Volume 1: Fundamentals

In the late 1990s, advances in neuroscience have begun to impact developmental psychiatry. James Harris's two-volume work on developmental neuropsychiatry reviews this emerging clinical speciality. These two books offer an integrated yet comprehensive approach to developmental neuropsychiatry. Part I Basic neural science: molecular neurobiology - the new genetics; developmental neuroanatomy; developmental neurotransmitter systems and neuronal signalling mechanisms; sleep and circadian rhythms; genetic aspects of neuropsychiatry. Part II Cognitive neuroscience: attention; emotion; language; memory; neural networks; consciousness. Part III The developmental perspective: ethology; cognitive development; emotion expression and regulation; emergence of the self; evolution of language development and representation; temperament and personality.
