Development and Developmental Disorders
of the Human Central Nervous System

Apart from a general updating of the extensive literature on developmental neurobiology, neurogenetics, imaging and developmental neuropathology between 2005 and 2013, more emphasis has been given to: (a) imaging of the embryonic brain (early prenatal diagnosis by ultrasound); (b) imaging of the fetal brain by MRI; (c) DTI studies on the development of major fibre connections such as the pyramidal tract and the corpus callosum; and (d) the impact of newer genetic techniques such as whole exome/genome sequencing.
