The 1990s "decade of the brain" deepened the neurology-psychiatry bond. Bradshaw (psychology, Monash U., Australia) treats the genetic, structural, neurochemical, and diagnostic issues of six neurodevelopmental disorders: Tourette's syndrome, obsessive- compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, autism, and depression, as related to the frontal cortex's role in behavioral control and functions of the basal ganglia. Lastly, he considers the disorders' commonalities and differences, and interprets them as representing a continuum with each other and the normal healthy state. Well-referenced. Annotation c.
