Beschreibung
This second edition discusses the significant milestones of early brain development and the emergence of consciousness, within and outside the mother’s environment, focusing on the preterm infant. The book offers new insights and perspectives on issues concerning fetal pain, awareness in newborns, and the effects of digital media on the developing infant brain. The second edition updates coverage of the default mode network and its role in the emergence of consciousness. In addition, the book provides historic and philosophical insights into infant brain development and the emergence of consciousness. It describes the models of consciousness (e.g., the global neuronal workspace and the integration information theory) and how they apply to the fetus and infant.
Key areas of coverage include:
1. Brain patterning, neural proliferation, and migration.
2. The stress of being born and first breaths.
3. The preterm brain.
4. Awareness of pain.
5. The language instinct.
6. Parenting and stimulating the brain of the child.
7. The moral status of the fetus and the infant.
The second edition of Infant Brain Development is an invaluable resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and related professionals in developmental psychology, pediatrics, cognitive neuroscience, neurobiology, neuroscience, clinical social work, public health, medical ethics, obstetrics, nursing, and all related disciplines.
