Frontal cortex interactions in the development of cognitive and behavioral disorders in children

The study deals with cognitive and behavioral disorders in children. The article shows the early dynamics of behavioral states and describes the picture of formation of cognition in children. The author highlights the generally accepted opinions about localization of the basic psychological functions and presents a modern network model of regulation of cognitive and behavioral functions. The article notes the role of interaction between neuromediatory systems in the regulation of certain behavioral components and provides the main epidemiological indicators of cognitive and behavioral disorders in children. The author focuses on three most evident behavioral children's disorders: attention deficit hyperactivity syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, and Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome. A comparative analysis of the specificity of inheriting, morphology, neurochemistry, clinical manifestation and therapeutic treatment of these disorders has been carried out. It has been shown that the masculine sex, engagement of fronto­striatal structures, and dopamine and serotonin mediatory systems are typical factors of stereotypies formation and moderate treatment with the help of serotonin reuptake inhibitors for most developmental disorders in children.В статье рассматриваются когнитивные и поведенческие нарушения у детей

Mean field theory for global binding systematics

We review some possible improvements of mean field theory for application to nuclear binding systematics. Up to now, microscopic theory has been less successful than models starting from the liquid drop in describing accurately the global binding systematics. We believe that there are good prospects to develop a better global theory, using modern forms of energy density functionals and treating correlation energies systematically by the RPA.Comment: RevTex, 17 pages, 5 eps figures.

Mild neurological dysfunction as a marker of cognitive and behavioral disorders in children

В статье рассматриваются признаки легкой неврологической дисфункции и их связи с основными показателями психомоторного развития у детей низкого риска развития заболеваний в возрасте от 2 до 4 лет.The aim of this study is to detect minor neurological dysfunction (MND) signs and their association with the main parameters of neurodeve-lopment in low-risk children at the ages of 2.5-4 years

Conception of optimality in studying early development of infants

В статье представлены основные взгляды на развитие младенца. Показаны принципиальные различия в подходах к побудительным мотивам развития - эндогенным и экзогенным.The study analyzes the main views on infant development and shows conceptual differences of various approaches to development motivation - endogenous and exogenous. The variety of views on the nature of child development quite naturally leads to conflicting attitudes to adequate development indicators and the data about developmental disorders incidence. It is possible to smooth over these differences with developmental neurology principles - standardization and optimality

Specific Features of Preverbal Vocalizations in Fetuses and Infants

В статье рассматривается довербальная вокализация как один из основных поведенческих показателей состояния плода и новорожденного.Vocalization is one of the main behavioral indicators of the condition of the fetus and the newborn. The classification of vocalizations of infants, based on acoustic analysis, distinguishes reflex sounds (crying, anxiety, laughter, breathing, belching, coughing, and sucking) and so-called protophones, or speech-like sounds. The most thoroughly studied early vocalizations are laughter and shouting, indicating a state of distress or a situation of social play
