9780195183139: Brain Development: Normal Processes and the Effects of Alcohol and Nicotine

Synopsis

This is the first book to describe both the intricate events underlying normal development of the nervous system and how alcohol and nicotine interfere with that development. Understanding the impact of these two toxins is not only of clinical importance. It also highlights the plasticity and resilience of the developing brain as well as the targeted effects of each toxin. This book explores these effects and brings a richer appreciation of brain development. It will be of interest to neuroscientists, developmental biologists, teratologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, neurologists, neuropsychologists, and to their students and trainees.
