Neurodevelopment Across the Lifespan: From Prenatal Brain Formation to Aging Impact

Explore the intricate journey of brain development from prenatal stages through aging. This chapter delves into the emergence and journey of neurons, the establishment of neural circuits in infancy, childhood, and adolescence—including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder—along with the normal aging processes and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Additionally, it examines the role of neurohormonal circuits in brain development, the stress response, maternal influences on stress, and sex differences in these processes, concluding with scientific interventions in developmental neurobiology.
