Relationships between Brain Activation and Brain Structure in Normally Developing Children

Relationships between brain activation and brain structure in normally developing children.

Dynamic changes in brain structure, activation, and cognitive abilities co-occur during development, but little is known about how changes in brain structure relate to changes in cognitive function or brain activity. By using cortical pattern matching techniques to correlate cortical gray matter thickness and functional brain activity over the entire brain surface in 24 typically developing chi...

Relationship between rapid naming, phonological awareness and spelling in Farsi normally developing children

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate relationship among phonological awareness, rapid naming and spelling in normally developing Farsi speaking children. Materials and Methods: In this description- analytical cross sectional study 30 normally developing students randomly selected from Tehran (Iran). The students performed Nama reading and dyslexia, rapid automatized nam...

Visual Motion Systems in the Normally and Abnormally Developing Brain

Brain Asymmetry Mapped in Velo-vardio-facial Syndrome and in Normally Developing Children

Introduction: Differences in structure and function between the two brain hemispheres have generated great interest in neuroscience, revealing the developmental origins of lateralized cognitive functions and hemispheric specialization of neuronal circuitry [4]. Anatomical asymmetries develop in utero and increase during childhood, so any derailment in the course of neurodevelopment may lead to ...

The Relationship between Brain Volume, Brain Weight and IQ in Children in Primary Schools in the South of Iran

Background: Anthropometry is a branch of anatomy. One of the important parts of anthropometry is cephalometry, which is characterized by anatomical dimensions of the head area. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between brain volume, weight, and IQ in children. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 300 students...
