Neurocognitive Development: Normative Development Summary

Neurocognitive Development: Normative Development: Volume 173 by Volume editor Anne Gallagher (Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, Universite de Montreal Director, Laboratoire d'Imagerie Optique en Neurodeveloppement (LIONLAB), CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center, Montreal, Quebec, Canada)

This is one of a two-volume work on neurocognitive development, focusing separately on normative and non-normative development. The normative volume focuses on neurology, biology, genetics, and psychology of normative cognitive development. It covers the development of intellectual abilities, visual perception, motor function, language, memory, attention, executive function, social cognition, learning abilities, and affect and behavior. The book identifies when and how these functions develop, the genetics and neurophysiology of their operation, and their evaluation and assessment in clinical practice. This book will serve as a comprehensive reference to researchers in cognitive development in neuroscience, psychology, and medicine, as well as to clinicians and allied health professionals focused on developmental disabilities (child neurologists, pediatric neuropsychologists, child psychiatrists, speech and language therapists, and occupational therapists.)

About Volume editor Anne Gallagher (Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, Universite de Montreal Director, Laboratoire d'Imagerie Optique en Neurodeveloppement (LIONLAB), CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center, Montreal, Quebec, Canada)

Dr. Anne Gallagher, pediatric neuropsychologist, holds a Canada Research Chair in Child Neuropsychology and Brain Imaging. She is an Associate Professor at the Universite de Montreal and the head of the Neurodevelopmental Optical Imaging Lab (LIONlab) at CHU Sainte-Justine. She conducts translational and interdisciplinary research work on language development and multimodal neuroimaging aiming to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants and children born prematurely or with various clinical conditions including epilepsy and congenital heart disease. Using NIRS-EEG, her research has pioneered the development of innovative presurgical imaging techniques that are now routinely used in young patients. Dr. Christine BULTEAU-PEYRIE is pediatric neurologist and child neuropsychologist and associated member at the Memory, Brain and Cognition Laboratory (MC2Lab, EA 7536), Institute of Psychology Sorbonne Paris Cite University, France. She graduated in 1991 as Pediatrican with Honors after which she moved to Paris and did a residency in Pediatric Neurology with Pr Olivier DULAC at Saint Vincent de Paul hospital, Paris Descartes University. During her neuropediatric training she made clinical research in childhood epilepsy (Pr DULAC, Dr CHIRON), child neuropsychology (Pr JAMBAQUE) and child psychiatry (Pr MARCELLI). She obtained a Master Degree in Cognitive Sciences from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS/Paris) and a PhD in Cognitive Psychology at the Institute of Psychology, Paris Descartes University. Since 2000, she is working at Rothschild Foundation Hospital in Paris in the pediatric neurosurgery department and she is head of the comprehensive program for neuropsychological assessment in pediatric epilepsy surgery. Her research activity is about the patients who are candidate for hemispherotomy. Since 2003, she has worked actively in the pediatric epilepsy surgery task force (ILAE) and was member of the Commission Surgical Therapy (ILAE: 2013-2017) and participate to national training in childhod epilepsy and child neuropsychology as well as international training in pediatric epilepsy surgery. David Cohen is Professor at Sorbonne University and head of the department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at La Salpetriere hospital in Paris. He is also member of the lab Institut des Systemes Intelligents et de Robotiques - ISIR (CNRS UMR 7222) within the team Perception, Interaction and Social Robotics. His group runs research programs in the field of autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities, childhood onset schizophrenia, catatonia and severe mood disorder. He supports a developmental and plastic view of child psychopathology, at the level of both understanding and treatment (see http://speapsl.aphp.fr). He was President of the International Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IACAPAP) 2012 congress. Besides his work as child psychiatrist, he also has artistic activities (see http://www.dcohen.biz/). Jacques L. Michaud is a medical geneticist and scientist at CHU Sainte-Justine and Professor of Pediatrics and Neurosciences at Universite de Montreal. He has developed a research program on neuro-developmental disorders that integrates the discovery of their genetic causes, Dthe functional study of the associated genes and the development of therapeutic strategies. Dr. Michaud is the Director of the Quebec Center for Clinical Genomics, which provides genomic testing for the Quebec health care system, and Director the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center.
