Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders is an open access journal that integrates current, cutting-edge research across neurobiology, genetics, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral neurology, developmental pediatrics, psychiatry and psychology. The concept Neurodevelopmental Disorders is based on observable symptom patterns typically emerging early in life, underpinning a range of different but often co-morbid diagnoses, including (but not limited to) Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Language Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disability, and, in the first years of life, various degrees of Global Developmental Delay. Expanding its definition to incorporate conditions that emerge in late childhood and early adulthood, psychotic disorders are also included, given the evidence in support of disturbances in early neurodevelopment. While neurodevelopmental disorders can occur idiopathically, increasingly specific aetiologies can be identified, many of which are driven by insights from genetic studies and neuroimaging. These findings are starting to elucidate the biological underpinnings and open venues for novel interventions. Against this backdrop, Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders seeks to promote manuscripts contributing to further the elucidation of etiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, and the diverse phenotypic manifestations of neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as any study that contributes to the translation of this knowledge towards concrete changes in clinical practice. Furthermore, Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders strongly believes that the ambition of precision medicine is now applicable to some neurodevelopmental disorders, representing an important opportunity to improve care for and well-being of affected individuals and their families. .
