    • French
    L ’ensemble de la symptomatologie des troubles cognitifs spécifiques au sein des troubles du neurodéveloppement chez l’enfant a été rassemblé en un seul volume, entièrement révisé pour cette 3e édition, afin de tenir compte des études les plus récentes. Le premier chapitre précise la terminologie de ces troubles, définit clairement ce que sont et ne sont pas les situations de dys-, décrit la démarche générale conduisant à leur diagnostic et rappelle les spécificités du bilan neuropsychologique. Les troubles sont ensuite successivement développés et richement illustrés, selon qu’ils affectent le langage oral, le geste, la mémoire, l’attention et les fonctions exécutives, le langage écrit ou le nombre et le calcul. Les auteurs adoptent une stratégie propre à la neuropsychologie : à partir de la description des notions développementales et du fonctionnement typique du domaine considéré sont abordés les mécanismes pathologiques sous-jacents aux symptômes. Ces processus sous-tendent la description des symptômes et les préconisations thérapeutiques, rééducations, aménagements scolaires, contournement de la situation de handicap… De nombreux exemples de cas cliniques, accompagnés de reproductions d’exercices écrits, de retranscriptions d’entretiens, de tests d’évaluation et plus de 20 vidéos illustrent ces mécanismes et facilitent leur compréhension.

  • Mechanisms and Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Cognitive Disorders

    • English
    Mechanisms and Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Cognitive Disorders connects neurodevelopment with genetics and behavior to better understand the underlying factors leading to cognitive neurodevelopmental disorders. This book focuses on mechanisms of disease and follows the development of specific brain regions, functions, and gene expression to causes and processes in autism, attention deficit disorder, and learning disabilities. Topics include brain mapping, brain plasticity, epigenetics, neuroimmunology, and many other factors that influence the development of these diseases. This book will promote understanding of recent investigations and developments related to brain development from fetal life onward with specific relevance to neurodevelopmental cognitive disorders and conditions. This is an essential reference for anyone who is looking to learn more about different aspects of neurodevelopment and emerging concepts in psychiatric disorders.

This volume reviews alterations in vision that stem from the retina to the cortex. Coverage includes content on vision and driving derived from the large amount of time devoted in clinics to determining who is safe to drive, along with research on the interplay between visual loss, attention and strategic compensations that may determine driving suitability. The title concludes with vision therapies and the evidence behind these approaches. Each chapter is co-written by a basic scientist collaborating with a clinician to provide a solid underpinning of the mechanisms behind the clinical syndromes.
