Developmental, Neurological, and Mental Disorders and Treatments
ОглавлениеOne of the most important reasons to understand neurobiology is to understand mental disorders and treatments. The good news is that great progress is being made in this field now. We know the genetic bases of many developmental disorders, such as Fragile X and William’s syndrome. The bad news is that many disorders remain that we do not know about, and, even among disorders with known genetics, how the gene alteration produces the disorder, and what to do about it, are not clear. Chapters 15 through 18 discuss the background and current treatment approaches (if any) of many common neurological disorders.
