AB The  central  nervous  system  (CNS)  is  the  most  complex  organ  in  the  human  body  comprising  a  highly  organized  anatomic  scaffold  of  billions  of  cells  and  a  network  of  trillions  of  connections.  Structural  brain  development  proceeds  through  an  integrated  series  of  often  rapid  developmental  events  from  early  embryogenesis  through  fetal  life  and  into  early  adulthood.  It  is  therefore  not  surprising  that  many  common  childhood  neurologic  and  developmental  disorders  have  their  origins  in  genetic  or  environmental  perturbations  of  embryonic  or  fetal  brain  development.
