    Abstract : Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairments in socialization and communication accompanied by repetitive and stereotypic behaviors. ASDs are highly heritable and heterogeneous with a complex genetic etiology. READ MORE

  5. 18. Aerodynamic measurements of normal voice

    Author : Eva Holmberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Normal voice; inverse filtering; glottal airflow waveform; subglottal air pressure; Phonetics; Fonetik; Phonetics; fonetik;

    Abstract : Vocal fold vibration results from an alternating balance between subglottal air pressure that drives the vocal folds apart and muscular, elastic, and restoring forces that draw them together. The aim of the present thesis is to present quantitative data of normal vocal function using a noninvasive method. READ MORE

  6. 19. Topography of auditory evoked cortical potentials in children with severe language impairment

    Keywords : Auditory evoked potentials - Brain map - Topography - Child - Languageimpairment - Auditory perceptual disorders;

    Abstract : Development of normal speech and language functions is closely related to normal hearing. However, most children with delayed or disturbed speech development show normal tone thresholds and here the investigation has to include higher levels in the auditory system. READ MORE

  7. 20. On Neuroimmunology and Brain Function: Experimental and Clinical Studies
