Description

The authors explore the formative effects of children's early life experiences, with an emphasis on interactions among neurodevelopmental, behavioural and cultural dynamics. Multidisciplinary case studies focus on specific periods of development during which care giving and other cultural practices have a long-lasting impact on brain and behaviour.
