Riassunto

Taking an all-inclusive look at the subject, Understanding Autism: From Basic Neuroscience to Treatment reviews state-of-the-art research on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of autism. The book addresses potential mechanisms that may underlie the development of autism and the neural systems that are likely to be affected by these molecular, genetic, and infectious etiologies. It reviews key findings that inform diagnosis, epidemiology, clinical neuroscience, and treatment. The book concludes with a discussion of the economic cost of autism and provides a biomedical and public health perspective of the impact of this devastating disease. With chapters authored by clinical and basic researchers at the forefront of molecular and systems neuroscience, clinical neuroscience, and health economics, the book presents a powerful and comprehensive synthesis of current research on autism and its underlying neural substrates. The book's two editors are considered elite pioneers in this area of research. Dr. Rubenstein was recently elected to the highly prestigious Institute of the Medicine, an honor reserved for those most committed to professional achievement and public service.

Dalla quarta di copertina

"One can predict that this authoritative collection of essays, representing almost all of the leading workers in this important and growing field of research, will move autism research into a rightfully prominent place in modern medicine." -- Paul Greengard, Nobel Laureate Integrating basic and clinical neuroscience perspectives, this work presents a comprehensive perspective on current autism research including epidemiology, genetics, and clinical neuroscience and neural systems. It stimulates new directions for research and the development of new drug treatment. An underlying theme focuses on future genomic research. The text also explores social, economic, and advocacy issues.
