摘要：Maturation of brain and development of its functions, commonly referred to asneurodevelopment, is a highly complex, well-orchestrated and fascinating process.Beginning with neural stem cells, it proceeds through neuronal proliferation bysymmetric cell division followed by asymmetric cell division, and later neuronalmigration, differentiation, organization into neural circuits and networks that take upmore or less specific responsibilities in terms of functions. One could list a number ofsuch functions – traditionally divided into discrete but overlapping areas viz., cognitive,social, language and motor. One could discern further sub-categories, for instance,verbal / non-verbal reception and expression, fine and gross motor development
