Excitation–Inhibition Imbalance and Seizures

Professor Charles Nelson of Harvard University talks about his research that has elucidated how children's brains normally develop and how adversities (neglect, physical abuse, infections) can result in lifelong problems with mental and physical health. Dr. Nelson talks about his studies of early life adversity in children in Romania, Bangladesh and Hungary. In addition, he talks about genetic and environmental risk factors for autism.
