    Low-Resolution Place and Response Learning Capacities in Down Syndrome.Mathilde Bostelmann, Floriana Costanzo, Lorelay Martorana, Deny Menghini, Stefano Vicari, Pamela Banta Lavenex & Pierre Lavenex - 2018 - Frontiers in Psychology 9.
    Down syndrome (DS), the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability, results from the partial or complete triplication of chromosome 21. Individuals with DS are impaired at using a high-resolution, allocentric spatial representation to learn and remember discrete locations in a controlled environment. Here, we assessed the capacity of individuals with DS to perform low-resolution spatial learning, depending on two competing memory systems: (1) the place learning system, which depends on the hippocampus and creates flexible relational representations of the environment; (...)

    Effects of a short and intensive transcranial direct current stimulation treatment in children and adolescents with developmental dyslexia: A crossover clinical trial.Andrea Battisti, Giulia Lazzaro, Floriana Costanzo, Cristiana Varuzza, Serena Rossi, Stefano Vicari & Deny Menghini - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Developmental Dyslexia significantly interferes with children’s academic, personal, social, and emotional functioning. Nevertheless, therapeutic options need to be further validated and tested in randomized controlled clinical trials. The use of transcranial direct current stimulation has been gaining ground in recent years as a new intervention option for DD. However, there are still open questions regarding the most suitable tDCS protocol for young people with DD. The current crossover study tested the effectiveness of a short and intensive tDCS protocol, including the (...)

    Path Integration and Cognitive Mapping Capacities in Down and Williams Syndromes.Mathilde Bostelmann, Paolo Ruggeri, Antonella Rita Circelli, Floriana Costanzo, Deny Menghini, Stefano Vicari, Pierre Lavenex & Pamela Banta Lavenex - 2020 - Frontiers in Psychology 11.
    Williams (WS) and Down (DS) syndromes are neurodevelopmental disorders with distinct genetic origins and different spatial memory profiles. In real-world spatial memory tasks, where spatial information derived from all sensory modalities is available, individuals with DS demonstrate low-resolution spatial learning capacities consistent with their mental age, whereas individuals with WS are severely impaired. However, because WS is associated with severe visuo-constructive processing deficits, it is unclear whether their impairment is due to abnormal visual processing or whether it reflects an inability (...)
