This handbook, part of the\nOxford Library of Neuroscience, provides an introduction to recent advances in research at the intersection of developmental science and behavioral neuroscience, while emphasizing the central research perspectives of developmental psychobiology. Contributors to the\nOxford Handbook of Developmental Behavioral Neuroscience are drawn from a variety of fields, including developmental psychobiology, neuroscience, comparative psychology, and evolutionary biology, demonstrating the opportunities to advance our understanding of behavioral and neural development through enhanced interactions among parallel disciplines.\n\n In a field ripe for collaboration and integration, the\nOxford Handbook of Developmental Behavioral Neuroscience provides an unprecedented overview of conceptual and methodological issues pertaining to comparative and developmental neuroscience that can serve as a roadmap for researchers and a textbook for educators. Its broad reach will spur new insights and compel new collaborations in this rapidly growing field.\n\n\nReview\n\n\n\"The epigenetics of behavioral development (aka developmental psychobiology) has a deep and rich history that recently has been overshadowed by discoveries in molecular epigenetics. Although both enterprises seek to understand development, behavioral neuroscientists are concerned principally with the organization of organisms throughout the different stages of their life history. As such, it reveals more about how the individual is formed and functions than do studies that focus only at the level of the control and consequences of gene action. This volume brings together the latest efforts of the most important researchers who synthesize and integrate findings from different levels of biological organization in both animals and humans.\" -\nDavid Crews, Ashbel Smith Professor of Zoology and Psychology, Section of Integrative Biology, University of Texas at Austin\n\n\n\"This is an extremely valuable handbook that draws on a stellar group of authors who are integrating behavioral and neurobiological analyses to characterize the ontogeny of psychological capacities. It is clear from the wealth of information and range of topics covered in this book that the field of developmental behavioral neuroscience has matured to a highly productive research area. Coincidentally, because it has also become clear that many neurological and psychiatric disorders have their origins in the course of brain development, the value of this basic research field is immense. Therefore, this volume is a must read, both for the basic neuroscientists who are curious about the emergence of their favorite psychological faculty, and for translational neuroscientists who are looking for clues about where and how brain and behavioral development can go right or go awry.\" -\nHoward C. Eichenbaum, Prof. of Psychology and Director, Program of Neuroscience, Boston University \n\n\n\"This comprehensive treatment of development draws on the traditions of neurobiology, behavioral neuroscience, developmental psychology, and evolutionary biology to produce a volume that ranges from molecules to behavior. The editors have invited specialists to contribute 35 chapters that begin with the assembly of the nervous system and conclude with the development of language and communication. Covering both theoretical issues as well as an enormous range of empirical findings, this ambitious and unique volume will be valuable to the large and diverse community of researchers who concern themselves with the development of behavior and the development of the nervous system.\" -\nLarry R.
