Introduction When mental retardation is suspected early during a child's life, it is the pediatrician who is usually confronted with the problems of diagnosis and the difficulties of parental counseling. Pediatricians are also assuming increasing responsibilities in community programs for retarded children.

Duplication within two regions distal to MECP2: clinical similarity with MECP2 duplication syndrome
Background X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) duplication syndrome is prevalent in approximately 1% of X-linked intellectual disabilities. Accumulating evidence has suggested that MECP2 is the causative gene of MECP2 duplication syndrome.

Group Intensive Cognitive Activation in Patients with Major or Mild Neurocognitive Disorder
Background: No standard protocols are available for cognitive rehabilitation in conditions like Major or Mild Neurocognitive disorder (M-NCD or m-NCD, respectively); however, preliminary data seem to indicate that such interventions might have cost ...

Wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep are not always mutually exclusive conditions, as commonly assumed. In some cases, the declaration of any state may be incomplete and states can fluctuate rapidly, resulting in peculiar behavioural ...

Esterification of fatty acids at room temperature by chloroform-methanolic HCl–cupric acetate
A new procedure for the preparation of methyl esters from free fatty acids under mild conditions was investigated. Free fatty acids are dissolved in a mixture of chloroform–methanolic HCl–cupric acetate and kept at room temperature for 30 min for ...

The genetics of mental retardation [PDF]
We review the advances that have been achieved using molecular genetic techniques to characterise the genetic basis of mental retardation in recognised syndromes and in discovering new genetic conditions that give rise to mental retardation. However, even with the cloning of a number of mutant genes, the pathogenesis of the condition is not understood.

Stability of Auditory Discrimination and Novelty Processing in Physiological Aging
Complex higher-order cognitive functions and their possible changes with aging are mandatory objectives of cognitive neuroscience. Event-related potentials (ERPs) allow investigators to probe the earliest stages of information processing.
