Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of disorders that affect the development of the nervous system, leading to abnormal brain function which may affect emotion, learning ability, self‐control, and memory [36]. Such disorders, often starting from childhood, though their effects vary over time, usually remain with the subject and affect the person throughout their lifetime.

Examples of neurodevelopmental disorders in children include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, also called autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, intellectual disability (also known as mental retardation), conduct disorders, cerebral palsy, and impairments in vision and hearing. One may add depression to this category of disorders.

ADHD, ASD, and depression have been under EEG studies in recent years and therefore some examples are provided in the later chapters of this book.
