[The assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by teacher ratings - validity and reliability of the FBB-HKS]

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study analyzes the German version of the teacher rated Symptom Checklist for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (FBB-HKS) which is part of the Diagnostic System of Mental Disorders in Children and Adolescents (DISYPS-KJ). ... Read more...

The APP-interacting protein FE65 is required for hippocampus-dependent learning and long-term potentiation.

25 Aug 2009 FE65 is expressed predominantly in the brain and interacts with the C-terminal domain of beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP). We examined hippocampus-dependent memory and in vivo long-term potentiation (LTP) at the CA1 synapses with ... Read more...

Systematic review of interventions for children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.

23 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) may have significant neurobehavioural problems persisting into adulthood. Early diagnosis may decrease the risk of adverse life outcomes. However, little is known about effective ... Read more...
