Title: Late maturation of visual spatial integration in humans

    (BME)
  • a rare genetic disorder (125.000),
    non-homogeneous cognitive profile.
  • visual-spatial problems, good communication, and
    high sociability
  • the bridge between genes and behavior anatomy
  • occipital anatomical differences.
  • I. Kovács Visual Integration
  • Development and Impairments.
  • Akadémiai, Budapest, 2004.

  • Cell measures differ in peripheral visual
    cortical fields of WS
  • Smaller, more tightly packed cells in most layers
    on the left side
  • Cell packing density and neuronal size
    differences may be related to visual spatial
    deficits in WS
