Series: Developments in Neuroethics and Bioethics

This volume focuses on topics at the intersection between neuroethics and neurodevelopment, and brings together the perspectives of experts in both clinical assessment and intervention, and researchers in child psychology, neurosciences, medicine, health policy, law, and social work. The goal is to review emerging issues related to the ethical ramifications of how variation in human neurodevelopment is described, and the effects of these descriptions on those with lived experience, clinical and intervention services, and health and social policy. Related topics are also explored including the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic, the ethics of invasive neurotechnology interventions, biomarkers, machine learning, precision medicine.

Reviews for Neuroethics and Neurodevelopment

"""...present[s] the current issues found within neuroethics and neurodevelopment, [and] offers insights from leading experts on how to progress the conversation... [Also] presents a beneficial discussion about consent within the pediatric realm, specifically within this population. Additionally, the use of biomarkers to potentially help with the early installation of resources is an interesting proposal and contrasts well with the potential for misuse of the information or unintentionally backfiring and causing harm. Finally, this book broadens the scope of focus to help to the families and caretakers of the children, a point often overlooked... useful for new practitioners looking to work with the neurodiverse pediatric population."" --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Robert Cowan, MD (Stanford University School of Medicine)"
