From the 2008 Minds Behind the M.I.N.D. Lecture Series. Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion, Turner, and fragile X syndrome are different genetic disorders producing weakness in visuospatial, visuomotor and numerical cognition. 7 to 14 year old children with these disorders were studied to see if a common mechanism might be at work. Dr. Simon will present results from experimental cognitive and brain imaging studies that explain how children with these disorders think about space, time and number and suggest designs for therapeutic interventions.

From the 2008 Minds Behind the M.I.N.D. Lecture Series. Cortisol is often referred to as "the stress hormone" because it is secreted during the "fight or flight" response and it is involved in various stress-related changes. Learn more about the work of a M.I.N.D. Institute researcher who is investigating cortisol as a biological marker of stress and dysregulation in children with autism. The presentation will include recent findings and comparisons of cortisol to social and emotional behavior, brain structure and function, and the symptoms of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
