Chapters illuminate the external factors that can dramatically impact the brain early in life and, consequently, the eventual accomplishment of developmental milestones and the construction of adult behavior and personality. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthored and edited by leaders in this rapidly growing field, \u003ci\u003eEnvironmental Experience and Plasticity of the Developing Brain\u003c\/i\u003e not only surveys preexisting literature on the effects of environment versus genetics, but also discusses more recent studies on the impacts of neurodevelopment in terms of maternal stimulation, environmental enrichment and sensory deprivation. The book also includes key examples of environmental impacts on preexisting genetic syndromes leading to developmental disabilities. Focus is also given to the consequences of early adverse experience in primates, as well as neurobiological and behavioral consequences in institutionalized human children and the reversibility of such consequences. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eEnvironmental Experience and Plasticity of the Developing Brain\u003c\/i\u003e encompasses a broad area of research in the field of developmental neurobiology and offers a unique combination of different examples of environmental factors affecting brain development and behavior.  \u003cp\u003eList of contributors, vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Environmental enrichment and brain development, 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlessandro Sale, Nicoletta Berardi, and Lamberto Maffei\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Epigenetic control of visual cortex development and plasticity, 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePaola Tognini, Elena Putignano, and Tommaso Pizzorusso\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Gene–environment interactions in the etiology of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMari A.
