About this book

This volume provides the reader with a pathophysiological perspective on the role of CNS in puberty and adolescence, starting from genetic/molecular aspects, going through structural/imaging changes and leading to physical/behavioral characteristics. Therefore, renowned investigators involved in both animal and human research shared recent data as well as overall appraisal of relevant questions around CNS control of puberty and adolescence. No doubt that this volume will inspire those involved in either scientific research or clinical practice or both in the fascinating field of puberty and adolescence.

Reviews

“This book examines key developmental changes that occur between childhood and adulthood, specifically focusing on the maturational events and neurobiology associated with behavior, CNS imaging, and molecular components. … The audience includes those in the field of mental health (practitioners, researchers, therapists) specifically dealing with young adolescent patients. I would recommend this book for readers with both clinical and therapeutic experience. … I learned a great deal from this book and will be using it with trainees, students, and colleagues.” (Sundeep S. Randhawa, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2015)
