Failure in Pantomime Action Execution Correlates with the Severity of Social Behavior Deficits in Children with Autism: A Praxis Study / Valentina GIZZONIO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-10 (October 2015)

Children with autism showed the lowest performance in all sections of the test. They were mostly impaired in pantomime actions execution on imitation and on verbal command, and in imitation of meaningless gestures. Interestingly, a correlation was found between performance in pantomime actions and the severity of social behavior deficits. We conclude that the presence of a rigid internal model prevents the execution of an exact copy of the observed pantomime actions and that the deficit in imitation of meaningless gestures is most likely due to a deficit in the mechanisms responsible for visuomotor transformations.

Periodic spasms: an unclassified type of epileptic seizure in childhood / Giuseppe GOBBI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-6 (December 1987)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 29-6 (December 1987) . - p.766-775 Titre : Periodic spasms: an unclassified type of epileptic seizure in childhood Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Giuseppe GOBBI, Auteur ; P. GIOVANARDI ROSSI, Auteur ; Licia BRUNO, Auteur ; Antonella PINI, Auteur ; Carlo Alberto TASSINARI, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.766-775 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Seven boys aged between 14 months and 13 years with focal or multifocal partial epilepsy had very unusual seizures, characterized by series of periodic bilateral spasms. These consisted of a brief, complex movement of slight to severe intensity, mainly involving the axial muscles, with raising of the shoulders, adversion of the eyes and head, often with rictus-type facial grimaces and occasional stretching of the legs and emission of a guttural sound. The ictal EEG showed a pattern of periodic complexes, characterized by a slow wave with superimposed fast activity. This form of epileptic seizure is resistant to treatment and is found only in patients affected by a brain disease consisting of a fixed or progressive encephalopathy. These observations document the existence of a rare form of seizure or epileptic event, not yet included in the International Classification of epileptic seizures and clinically relevant because of its diagnostic and prognostic implications.
