In 'The Neurobiology of Autism' Margaret Bauman and Thomas Kemper bring together leading investigators from the field of autism to discuss advances in scientific research that point to a neurobiological basis for autism and to examine the clinical implications of the research. These authors present up-to-date accounts of their own research as well as provide comprehensive reviews of the work of others. The result is a compilation of information in a single source that will enable clinical investigators to begin to speculate about the seemingly disparate pieces of information already available, consider how they might fit together, and develop new ideas and avenues for further research.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Synthesizes some of the current research into the many puzzling clinical and biomedical questions around the spectrum of autistic disorders, as an aid to clinical investigators and basic scientists, who are trying to figure out where autism comes from and what to do about it. The topics include genetics, neurophysiologic observations, brain chemistry, positron emission, and memory function."--'SciTech Book News' "Anyone doing research in autism or other developmental disorders will find this an invaluable book to read to make sure all areas are understood and to serve as a rich source of references."--'American Journal of Psychiatry'
