The Promise of Electroencephalography for Advancing Diagnosis and Treatment in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and intellectual disability (ID), commonly emerge during early development and impact functioning across cognitive, social-emotional, communication, and sensorimotor domains.

Abstract:
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and intellectual disability (ID), commonly emerge during early development and impact functioning across cognitive, social-emotional, communication, and sensorimotor domains. NDDs are complex, heterogeneous disorders that evince aberrations from cellular to behavioral levels—a likely reflection of their multifaceted etiology comprising genetic, environmental, and gene-by-environment influences.
