Description

Developmental disorders cover vast, often overlapping diagnostic territories. Originating in childhood, many of these disorders continue to produce symptoms and functional difficulties throughout the individual’s life. Some developmental disorders have strong genetic components; others are of unknown etiology. Two of the most important are disorders of attention and seizure disorders, which are covered in separate chapters. This chapter focuses on autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, dyslexia, disorders of bowel and bladder elimination control, and sleep. As research progresses, the necessity of full-cap simultaneous EEG acquisition under both resting and activation conditions, with detailed analysis of co-modulation and coherence is becoming clearer. There is no need for overadherence to rigid frequency band definitions. The role of underlying network dysfunctions, not just individual sites, continues to emerge.
