On Creativity of Elementary Cellular Automata [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
We map cell-state transition rules of elementary cellular automata (ECA) onto the cognitive control versus schizotypy spectrum phase space and interpret cellular automaton behaviour in terms of creativity. To implement the mapping we draw analogies between a degree of schizotypy and generative diversity of ECA rules, and between cognitive control and ...

Nanopore Sequencing Solves an Elusive Case of Sotos Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sotos syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, including a broad and prominent forehead, dolichocephaly, and learning disabilities ranging from mild to severe intellectual impairment. Affected individuals often show overgrowth in height and head circumference over two standard deviations.

Anxiety as a Factor in the Development of Autistic Spectrum Symptoms: an Experimental Study [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
It is well known that psychoemotional disorders may be accompanied by decreased sociability in humans. It has been shown that repeated social defeats in 10 daily agonistic interactions in male mice led to development of the expressed level of anxiety and to reduction of communication estimated in the elevated plus-maze and partition tests, respectively.

Abnormal DNA Methylation Profile Suggests the Extension of the Clinical Spectrum of the SETD2‐Related Disorders to a Syndromic Multiple Tumor Phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SETD2 has an essential role in epigenetic regulation. SETD2 pathogenic variants cause neurodevelopmental disorders (SETD2‐NDDs) that most commonly include various degrees of intellectual disability and behavioral disorders, macrocephaly, brain malformations, and generalized overgrowth.

Expanding the SIAH1‐Associated Phenotypic Spectrum: Insights From Loss‐of‐Function Variants

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SIAH1 encodes for a RING‐type E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in protein ubiquitination. More specifically, it positively regulates Wnt signaling through promoting the accumulation of β‐catenin and mediates ubiquitination and degradation of Akt3 in neural development.

Neurocomputational Phenotypes in Female and Male Autistic Individuals [PDF]

arXiv
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by an altered phenotype in social interaction and communication. Additionally, autism typically manifests differently in females as opposed to males: a phenomenon that has likely led to long-term problems in diagnostics of autism in females.
