Brain, Behavior, and Girls!

Researchers at Stanford University are studying brain development in relation to behavior, cognition, and mood in girls with fragile X syndrome.

This study is an NIH-funded research project aimed to increase our understanding of the brain during a critical time of a child’s growth. Information learned from this research can ultimately contribute to an increased understanding of learning, behavior, and emotion facilitating the development of intervention services/therapies.

We are currently recruiting girls ages 8-12 years with a diagnosis of:

• fragile X syndrome
  AND/OR
• learning/behavior challenges
• developmental disabilities
• typical development

Participation Involves:
• Comprehensive cognitive and behavioral evaluation
• MRI and NIRS Scan (safe, noninvasive, no x-rays/radiation)
Potential Benefits:
• Discussion and written report of results from evaluation
• Access to ongoing updates about outcomes of the study

You will receive a $100 honorarium for participation.
