There are two distinct views about the functions of our brains and their origins. The standard view, taught in most neuroscience texts, has incoming messages about the world sent to the cerebral cortex, with the cortex then producing an appropriate motor output. The interactive …
"The present volume reviews the impact of different types of early deprivations on structural and functional brain organization. The risk from multiple influences of systemic poverty is that these children will suffer not only from loss of opportunity but from poor development o…

"Description: The effects of poverty are sometimes obvious, as with children of low weight or poor dentition, but the effects on underlying physiological systems, such as the brain, can easily be overlooked. This book discusses the effects of poverty on brain development. Purpos…
Describes the transformations that take place in the human brain during adolescence, especially in the prefrontal cortex, which governs decision-making, planning, inhibiting inappropriate behavior, evaluating risk, and understanding others.

Research suggests that lipids including cholesterol, fat soluble vitamins and some carotenoids participate in maintaining brain function. This book focuses on how nutrients can improve brain development in early life leading to slower age related decline of higher brain function…

Eco-neurobiology is a field of neuroscience that investigates how environmental factors impact the brain through development and aging. This book takes the reader on a journey through the most recent findings in this field, covering how non-genetic factors influence our brain an…
"A Young Mind in a Growing Brain summarizes some initial conclusions that follow simultaneous examination of the psychological milestones of human development during its first decade and what has been learned about brain growth. This volume proposes that development is the proce…
