Cognitive and affective neuroscience and developmental psychopathology

Abstract

In summary, the papers in this Special Issue serve to highlight the synergy that exists between cognitive and affective neuroscience and developmental psychopathology. To fully realize the potential that the cross-fertilization of these disciplines may yield, we must make an ongoing commitment to fostering interdisciplinary work addressing multiple levels of analysis. The potential for these endeavors to decrease the burden of mental illness is vast and therefore warrants the dedication of professionals, as well as the allocation of resources.
