JEA Stauder, EEJ Smeets, SGM van Mil… - Brain and Development, 2006 - Elsevier
Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs almost exclusively in females. It
is characterized by a progressive loss of intellectual functioning and motor skills, and the
development of stereotypic hand movements, that occur after a period of normal
development. Event-related potentials were recorded to a passive auditory-and visual
oddball task in 17 females with Rett syndrome aged between 2 and 60 years, and age-
matched controls. Overall the participants with Rett syndrome had longer ERP latencies and …
