Rezensionen

From the reviews: "In this much needed book aimed at researchers, scientists and clinicians, Blatt (anatomy and neurobiology, Boston U) assembles 15 chapters that focus on the neurochemical basis of autism a little studied topic. ... Lay abstracts and summaries at the end are aimed at parents, siblings and caregivers." (SciTech Book News, June, 2010)
