TL;DR: This paper reviews five genetic conditions that commonly give rise to identifiable neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disability in children: fragile X syndrome, velo-cardio-facial syndrome, Williams syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome.

TL;DR: Novel evidence of morphometric spatial patterns predicting the development of psychotic symptoms in 22q11.2DS is shown, and the use of neuroimaging using MVPA may hold promise to predict outcome in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: Investigated the hypothesis that emotional numbing may develop as a result of hyperarousal using a prospective design and indicated that hyperarrousal symptoms were concurrently positively correlated with emotional numting at both time points.

TL;DR: The alteration in amygdala volumes in individuals with a supernumerary X chromosome may provide a neuroanatomic basis for the findings of variations in volumes of mesial temporal lobe structures in men and women with SCA.

TL;DR: The failure to observe a strong association between PTSD and hippocampal volume in nonalcoholic subjects was not ascribable to younger age, reduced PTSD chronicity, or lower PTSD symptom severity, and the possibility that smaller hippocampusal volume is limited to groups in which PTSD is compounded by comorbid alcoholism is not necessarily incompatible with results suggesting a smaller hippocampus is predispositional to PTSD.
