    Summary: "Neurodiversity: From Phenomenology to Neurobiology and Enhancing Technologies is the first APA title to address the totality of neurodiversity through positive explorations of "invisible diversities"-from ADHD and savantism to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and dyslexia. Edited by the director of the Stanford Neurodiversity Project, the book emphasizes strengths-based approaches to clinical practice and investigates interventions to improve the lives of neurodiverse individuals. Following a compelling preface by Temple Grandin, the book proceeds to address neurodiversity in four parts: first, an introduction that presents neurodiversity's differences in brain function and behavior as part of the normal variation of the human population; second, presentation of the strengths-based model of neurodiversity (SBMN), including positive psychology, neurobiology, and SBMN in savantism, autism, ADHD, and dyslexia; third, a discussion of neurodiverse individuals in the real world, including higher education and employment; and finally, a review of technologies that enhance our abilities to maximize the potential of neurodiversity, including inclusive design and assessment tools that provide support for neurodiverse young adults seeking meaningful employment"-- Provided by publisher.

    Renin release is believed to depend more on vasodilatation in the afferent arteriole than on any other factor. This allows for opposing effects of vasoconstriction and vasodilatation produced by sympathetic nerve stimulation by drugs or by autoregulation, to be interpreted in relation to the study of stretch of the afferent arteriole. This reduces but does not remove the necessity for alternate control through the macula densa. A final common pathway for all these stimuli is suggested through alterations in net calcium flux in the juxtaglomerular cell where increased intracellular calcium inhibits, and decreased intracellular calcium increases, renin release.
