Neurodevelopment refers to the brain’s development of neurological pathways that influence performance or functioning. Atypical development of the brain can have an impact on a range of cognitive and motor functions, often influencing learning and memory, attention, emotions, as well as an individual’s ability to socialize and maintain self-control. The concept of neurodiversity has been developed to improve awareness and inclusion of people with neurodevelopmental disorders, while promoting the idea that neurological differences reflect normal variations in brain development.

This Collection welcomes evidence-based studies in Psychology, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience, reporting empirical research on neurodevelopment, neurodevelopmental conditions, and neurodiversity.
