Abstract
The present study evaluated brain development in persons with isolated cleft lip and/or cleft palate (iCL/P) compared to unaffected controls using an accelerated longitudinal design. A sample of 134 males and females, ages 7-27 years, with iCL/P (184 observations, total) was compared to 144 unaffected controls (208 evaluations, total) on Wechsler Index scores and volumetric data from structural MRI scans. Boys with isolated cleft palate had verbal IQ 15.5 points lower than perceptual IQ; a clinically significant difference. Participants with iCL/P had differential growth trajectories of regional cerebrum matter and consistently lower volumes of cerebellar gray matter and subcortical matter.
期刊介绍：
Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life.
Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.
