-
孤独症不再被认为是罕见病,疾控中心目前估计美国有超过73万名儿童在与此孤立性脑功能障碍斗争。新研究使我们对此疾病有更深理解并有能力在患者发病早期进行治疗。我们希望进一步的遗传学和影像学研究可以导致以生物学为基础的诊断技术,帮助加速监测并使早期、更有效的干预成为现实。
本书由两名领域专家编纂,提供了当前的视角,同时综合了过去20余年中孤独症背后神经科学的重要发现。每个章节的话题均由专家执笔,探讨了病因学、神经病学、影像学和旁路/模型。市面上其他仅关注临床的参考书往往由单个作者撰写,无法提供专业、全面的知识覆盖,本书重点关注神经生物学的同时提供了ASD的广泛背景知识。对发育障碍和孤独症感兴趣的研究者和研究生读者将从本书获益良多,同时,希望扩展他们专业知识心理学和内科学的孤独症专业人士也将获益于本书。

Autism is no longer considered a rare disease, and the Center for Disease Control now estimates that upwards of 730,000 children in the US struggle with this isolating brain disorder. New research is leading to greater understanding of and ability to treat the disorder at an earlier age. It is hoped that further genetic and imaging studies will lead to biologically based diagnostic techniques that could help speed detection and allow early, more effective intervention.
Edited by two leaders in the field, this volume offers a current survey and synthesis of the most important findings of the neuroscience behind autism of the past 20 years. With chapters authored by experts in each topic, the volume explores etiology, neuropathology, imaging, and pathways/models. Offering a broad background of ASDs with a unique focus on neurobiology, the volume offers more than the others on the market with a strictly clinical focus or a single authored perspective that fails to offer expert, comprehensive coverage. Researchers and graduate students alike with an interest in developmental disorders and autism will benefit, as will autism specialists across psychology and medicine looking to expand their expertise.
