Brain Development and CNS Plasticity

摘要: Since the first developmental studies using fMRI there has been an almost logarithmic growth of investigations regarding functional brain development. This growing knowledge, in combination with landmark animal neuroplasticity, provided us significant insight into nature development and how maturation might map onto behavior. Throughout this chapter we discuss a number related phenomena (e.g., myelination, pruning, spontaneous activity, etc.) interact to produce common trajectory for typically developing brain. We also point out that much our knowledge concerning typical comes from examining neuroplasticity. In addition, highlight evidence suggesting abnormal neuroplasticity may contribute neuropsychiatric disorders by altering trajectories many interactions across broad cortical subcortical networks. emphasize such not only be neurological psychiatric development, but adulthood as well.
