"NO TO HATT ATSU" ("Brain and Development," Domestic Edition)

Independent from "Brain & Development," which is an English-language quarterly journal, the Japanese Society of Child Neurology has been publishing another official journal entitled "No To Hattatsu" bimonthly since 1969. "No To Hattatsu," which means "Brain and Development" in Japanese, contains original papers on clinical and research work in the field of child neurology. Most of them are written in Japanese and accompanied by English abstracts. The contents of several recent issues of "No To Hattatsu" are as follows:
