Hersenonderzoek bevorderen bij ontwikkelings neurocognitieve aandoeningen bij kinderen. KU Leuven
The European Brain Council (EBC) has recommended the disorders of the brain to be prioritised for funding. The purposes of this ChildBrain ETN are:
- to train young scientists, Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), to utilise evidence-based neuroscientific knowledge for helping children, especially those at high risk for dropout due to neurocognitive disorders, to meet future educational and societal demands.
- to develop new, ...
Ontrafelen van de pathofysiologie van aangeboren aandoeningen van glycosylering die het OST-complex beïnvloeden KU Leuven
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of over 100 inherited disorders characterised by defective glycosylation of proteins and lipids. Although the phenotypic and genetic characteristics of CDG as a whole are well established, their pathophysiology is poorly understood. In addition, the phenotype of affected patients is extremely variable, with dramatically different clinical presentations often appearing in patients with ...
Epigenetica, ervaring en verantwoordelijkheid: implicaties voor neurologische ontwikkelingsstoornissen KU Leuven
Neuroepigenethics heeft tot doel de ethische implicaties van epigenetica voor neurologische ontwikkelingsstoornissen te onderzoeken. We zullen gebruik maken van theoretische en empirische methoden om te onderzoeken hoe bepaalde concepten (aangeboren / biologisch / genetisch) van invloed zijn op de manier waarop professionals en belanghebbenden (personen met een neurologische ontwikkelingsstoornis en hun families) verantwoordelijkheidszin ...

De voorspellende visuele hersenen bij autismespectrumstoornissen. KU Leuven
"New theories of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) based on Predictive Coding have been proposed in recent years. These theories are motivated by the increasing empirical support for predictive coding models of the brain and the unprecedented amount of autism symptoms that can be explained by this framework. Recently, Van de Cruys et al. (2014) proposed the ""High Inflexible Precision of Prediction Errors in ASD"" theory, suggesting that ...
Motorische en cognitieve stoornissen bij pasgeboren prematuren: vroege diagnose KU Leuven
Prematurity exponentially increases the risk for an altered neurodevelopmental outcomes in childhood and adolescence. Many survivors children, face a lifetime of disability. Despite the advances in neonatal care have greatly improved survival of preterm born infants even at extremely low gestational ages, we are now at a period of steadiness where no further improvement in long-term neurodevelopmental outcome is seen. The impact of these ...
