In the pages that follow, we focus on advancing our understanding of the impact of genetics,environment, or both using three specific pediatric developmental disorders as exemplars ofkey neurodevelopmental conditions. Using autism/autism spectrum disorders (ASD; predominantlyan underlying genetic predisposition), fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD; predominantlyan underlying environmental etiology), and cerebral palsy (CP; with combined geneticand environmental contributions), we discuss neurodevelopment spanning from molecular,behavioral, and contextual/family considerations.Our target readership are individuals with interests inthe developing brain and how perturbations of that development can lead to neurodevelopmentaldisabilities. The aim of the text is to provide clinical and basic science trainees(residents, clinical fellows, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows) with a strong groundingin understanding disorders of the developing brain with a view to these traineesbecoming the next generation of child neurologists, developmental pediatricians, anddevelopmental neuroscientists.
