Because RAD is lacking a background of significant research due to its rarity, the causes and risk factors as to why children develop reactive attachment disorder are not entirely conclusive. Some examples of causes that have been linked to possibly impacting the development of RAD include:
Central Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord) and Peripheral Nervous System (Cranial Nerves, Spinal Nerves, and Ganglia). This is the control center for the entire nervous system.All body sensations must be relayed from receptors to the CNS if they are to be interpreted and acted on. All of the nerve impulses that stimulate muscles to contract and glands to secrete must also originate in the CNS.
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless liquid that surrounds and protects the CNS. It bathes the brain and spine in nutrients and eliminates waste products.
