Neurodevelopmental Disorders: From Pathophysiology to Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

DSM-5, introduced in 2013, allowed a renewed appreciation of the longitudinal, whole-life perspective of neurodevelopmental disorders in psychiatry including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other communication, speech and language disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disability (ID) as well as other specific learning disorders.

However, our understanding of the basic aspects of the pathophysiology of these disorders and efficient therapies is still incomplete. The adult population suffering from these disorders is also widely underresearched and thus rarely benefit from adequate treatments.

In this Topical Collection of Biomedicines, we aim to present to the journal readers the actual state of the art in the understanding of the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders and their treatments, from birth to the end of life.
