Psychiatric disorders: neurodevelopmental disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, or both?

Florence Thibaut. Dialogues Clin Neurosci. 2018 Dec.

Abstract

Central nervous system disorders are traditionally dichotomized between early-onset neurodevelopmental and late-onset neurodegenerative diseases. Yet, there are commonalities in the mechanisms operating in both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases.

Keywords: neurodegenerative disorder; neurodevelopmental disorder; psychiatric disorder.
