Emotion processing deficits in Moebius Syndrome

Emotion-processing deficits in eating disorders.

OBJECTIVE First, we measured both emotional awareness and alexithymia to understand better emotion-processing deficits in eating disorder patients (EDs). Second, we increased the reliability of the measures by limiting the influence of confounding factors (negative affects). METHOD Seventy females with eating disorders were compared with 70 female controls. Participants completed the Beck Dep...

Moebius syndrome

Moebius syndrome is a rare, nonprogressive neurological disorder (prevalence is estimated to be 0.002% of births) characterized by unilateral or bilateral facial paralysis and defective extraocular eye movements secondary to congenital paresis of the facial (VII) and abducens (VI) cranial nerves. These classic features of the syndrome are often accompanied by hypoglossal (XII), trigeminal (V), ...

Moebius syndrome.

Moebius syndrome consists of congenital complete or partial facial nerve palsy with or without paralysis of other cranial nerves (most commonly an abducens paralysis) and often associated with other malformations of the limbs and orofacial structures. The first description of congenital facial diplegia was given by von Graaefe in 18801 and this was soon followed by other reports. Moebius2 3 dre...

Visual processing deficits in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

Carriers of the rare 22q11.2 microdeletion present with a high percentage of positive and negative symptoms and a high genetic risk for schizophrenia. Visual processing impairments have been characterized in schizophrenia, but less so in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (DS). Here, we focus on visual processing using high-density EEG and source imaging in 22q11.2DS participants (N = 25) and healthy co...
