Autumn meeting of the Belgian Society for Cell and Developmental Biology: Endoderm and endoderm derivatives in development and disease. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
endoderm differentiates into the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and gives rise to thyroid,
lung, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas and intestine. Fundamental studies have identified
mechanisms that govern the differentiation of the endoderm and its derived organs. Knowledge of
developmental processes sheds light on ...
Language diagnostics in multilingual children: study of a scientifically based protocol to differentiate typical bilingual development from a developmental language disorder KU Leuven
Flemish primary education has 20-25% multilingual children (Jaarboek Statistiek Vlaams onderwijs, 2019). Both ASHA (2004) and IALP (2011) emphasize that multilingual children require appropriated diagnostics. However, to date there is no scientifically based protocol for language diagnostics in this heterogeneous and complex population. Master's theses LAW showed that, among other things, spontaneous language analysis in both native language ...
Development and Growth Status of Children (6- 60 months of age) in Extreme Poverty in Jimma Town of Ethiopia: Effects of Developmental Stimulation. Hasselt University
Early developmental assessment in children with typical development and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy KU Leuven
This Phd Project will focus on the assessment of early development in typically developing (TD) children and in infants and young boys with DMD.
First, the different early developmental domains (motor, language, cognition, adaptive behavior and social emotional state) will be evaluated in typically developing children. Generic evaluation instruments as well as more specific tools developed for children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy ...
research into the development of the mirror neuron system in young children (with normal development) with an autism spectrum disorder and sibling (brothers / sisters of children with ASD) between the age of 18-30 months and 36-48 months Ghent University
Investigating the underlying neural mechanisms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has recently been influenced by the discovery of mirror neurons. These neurons, active during both observation and execution of actions, are thought to play a crucial role in imitation and other social-communicative skills that are often impaired in ASD. In the current electroencephalographic study, we investigated mu suppression, indicating neural mirroring in ...
