New Insight in Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children

Dear Colleagues,

Neurodevelopmental disorders are common problems encountered in the pediatric population.

The term “neurodevelopmental disorder” is broad and covers both genetically determined problems as well as those coming from environmental, infectious and traumatic causes. The occurrence of some of these disorders results from a multifactorial background. Some neurodevelopmental diseases have a specific clinical course and specific symptoms, while others have a very rich symptomatology, and the symptoms come from various organs and systems. Moreover, the appearance of concomitant symptoms changes the presentation of the underlying condition. Currently, the possibility of using modern research techniques (i.e., neuroimaging), and –especially the progress in the field of genetic diagnostics, makes it possible to recognize certain diseases and their causes with greater success and efficiency.

The idea of creating a Special Issue of Children on neurodevelopmental disorders in the pediatric population is to collect articles devoted to a modern approach to this group of diseases. The SI title allows for the inclusion of articles within this Issue describing the many and varied problems of developmental-age neurology, in accordance with the keywords given below.

In this Special Issue we would like to welcome articles, including original research articles, reviews, meta-analyses or case studies, which address the scope of neurodevelopmental problems in children.
