> Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
> March 7-9, 2007 • The Loews Annapolis • Annapolis • Maryland
>
> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> DOWN SYNDROME: GENES, BRAIN, AND BEHAVIOR
> The Gatlinburg Conference continues its tradition as one of the
> premier conferences in the United States for behavioral scientists
> conducting research in intellectual and related developmental
> disabilities. The theme for the 2007 Conference is “Down Syndrome:
> Genes, Brain, and Behavior.” Down syndrome is the leading genetic
> cause of intellectual disability. Moreover, research on
> Down syndrome displays a level of “maturity” as regards the
> multi-disciplinary approaches that have been developed to investigate
> the causal pathways from genes to behavior. These approaches have
> included animal models that have been phenotyped in
> considerable detail, the use of fetal stem cells to study the
> earliest stages of neural development at a cellular level, innovative
> neuroimaging studies that have documented anatomical differences,
> psychometrically sophisticated approaches to the measurement
> of behavior, behavioral change related to age and in response to
> environmental variations, and epidemiological studies that have
> tracked changes in prevalence and the societal conditions responsible
> for those changes. In a very real sense, Down syndrome can
> thus be used as a model for planning investigations into less
> well-understood genetic conditions associated with intellectual
> disability. This year’s theme for the Gatlinburg conference reflects
> this multi-disciplinary approach to understanding Down
> syndrome, with invited speakers representing approaches that are
> perhaps less familiar to the regular attendees of the Conference,
> thereby enriching and expanding our conceptual and methodological
> repertoires. We encourage presentations on this theme
> from all disciplines relevant to understanding the causes,
> consequences, life course trajectories, and environmental
> circumstances
> of Down syndrome. Of course, we also welcome submissions on other
> non-theme topics of relevance to understanding
> developmental disabilities.
