This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

Neurodevelopmental disorders present early in life and are caused by impairments of growth, development, and function of the brain and central nervous system. With conditions including autism, attention deficit disorder, and schizophrenia, these disorders are characterized by deficits in cognitive, social, or personal functioning..."
