Media Reviews
"Developmental neuroscience is an exciting area of research that is increasing in importance. This text is a good, accessible, introduction to this field including what neuroscience can add to our understanding of key development throughout childhood." Dawn Watling, Royal Holloway, University of London "The editors stress some deficits in information and common misconceptions about the brain...helpful aspects of the volume include the use of boldface for terminology, a good glossary, and section summaries." Choice "A highly accessible introduction to developmental neuroscience. Abbott and Burkitt explain complex issues with clarity and elegance, and their engaging text is a pleasure to read. An exemplary book." Martyn Barrett, University of Surrey
