Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodevelopmental disorders encompass a broad spectrum of conditions that affect the growth and development of the brain and nervous system, leading to significant impairments in cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning. These disorders, ranging from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and intellectual disability, impose a heavy burden on individuals, families, and societies worldwide. Despite significant advances in diagnosis and management, the underlying mechanisms and treatment options for neurodevelopmental disorders remain elusive.
This Special Issue will delve into the molecular basis of neurodevelopmental disorders. These studies explore genetic variants, epigenetic modifications, and gene expression patterns associated with ASD, ADHD, and other disorders, shedding light on the complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors in disease onset and progression. Furthermore, we also include articles and reviews that synthesize the current understanding of the clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic approaches for neurodevelopmental disorders. These studies aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the field and highlight emerging trends and future directions.
In conclusion, this Special Issue, entitled "Progress in Neurodevelopmental Disorders Research", will represent a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers interested in advancing the understanding and treatment of these complex and devastating conditions. We hope that the insights and findings presented here will inspire further collaboration and innovation, ultimately leading to better outcomes for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders.
