A review of the verbal and visual memory impairments in children with foetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Children with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) have significant impairments in memory, negatively affecting academics and daily functioning. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To review published research on: (1) verbal and visual-spatial memory ... Read more...

Memory strategy development in children with foetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to examine whether children with foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) show the same developmental transition from visual to verbal memory strategies as in non-FASD children and whether this transition was ... Read more...

Fetal, infant, adolescent and adult phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome in prenatally androgenized female rhesus monkeys.

30 Aug 2009 Old World monkeys provide naturally occurring and experimentally induced phenotypes closely resembling the highly prevalent polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women. In particular, experimentally induced fetal androgen excess in female rhesus ... Read more...
