Developmental neuropathology /

This book presents for the first time a dual approach to the wide range of disorders which affect the developing brain in pre- and post-natal life, stressing the genetic and molecular mechanisms but recognizing the practicing neuropathologist and pediatric pathologist need cogent and logical guidanc...
