  abstract  = {Normal human brain development is dependent on highly dynamic epigenetic processes for spatial and temporal gene regulation. Recent work identified wide-spread changes in DNA methylation during fetal brain development. We profiled CpG methylation in frontal cortex of 27 fetuses from gestational weeks 12-42, using Illumina 450K methylation arrays. Sites showing genome-wide significant correlation with gestational age were compared to a publicly available data set from gestational weeks 3-26. Altogether, we identified 2016 matching developmentally regulated differentially methylated positions (m-dDMPs): 1767 m-dDMPs were hypermethylated and 1149 hypomethylated during fetal development. M-dDMPs are underrepresented in CpG islands and gene promoters, and enriched in gene bodies. They appear to cluster in certain chromosome regions. M-dDMPs are significantly enriched in autism-associated genes and CpGs. Our results promote the idea that reduced methylation dynamics during fetal brain development may predispose to autism. In addition, m-dDMPs are enriched in genes with human-specific brain expression patterns and/or histone modifications. Collectively, we defined a subset of dDMPs exhibiting constant methylation changes from early to late pregnancy. The same epigenetic mechanisms involving methylation changes in cis-regulatory regions may have been adopted for human brain evolution and ontogeny.},

Infektionserkrankungen im 5. Schwangerschaftsmonat waren ausschließlich bei den M{\"u}ttern von systematischen Schizophrenen vorgekommen. Bei diesen Krankheitsformen scheinen Infektionen im 2.

P300 amplitude is conventially assessed at midline electrodes (PZ), anti asymmetric topography as reported in schizophrenics, may conj'ound this measurement. We lnvestigated the possible Interaction between P300 ropography and assessments of amplitudes. ln 41 clinically stable schizophrenics and 31 normal controls, the generalfinding ofreduced amplitudes at the P'l electrode and topographical asymmetrles in the patient group were replicated. ln both groups, a.symmetries of the P300 field (lateralized peaks) reduced the standard amplitude assessment at the midline parletal electrode, but did not Qjfoct the reference-independent, global amplitude assessment. This shows thal asymmetry per se does not imply reduced field strength. in addition, in schizophreraics. but not in controls, there was a significcmt effect oftlae direction of asymmetry on both amplltude measures, amplitudes belng lower with increasing shift ofthe P300 peak to the right side. Considering also the slightly left-lateralized peaks in the normal controls. this suggests rhat only right lateralized P300 peaks upressfunctional deficits in schizophrenics, whereas left lateralized pealcs fall wlthin the physiological variability of the P3OO field. Tht refonnce-independent amplitude assessment is proposed for unambiguous amplitude assessment in order to better define the clinical, psychological and physiopathological mtaning of the P3OO alterations in schizophrenics.},

  abstract  = {Nonverbal behavior, especially facial expression, appears as one of the most important means for communicating affective states. Studies on groups of psychiatric patients and control subjects are reported in which nonverbal behavior is analyzed from videotaped dialogues. Using a quantitative approach, results on facial behavior, speech, and gaze are described, which shed light on the expressive and communicative functions of nonverbal behavior. From longitudinal observations on depressed patients it emerged that individualspecific associations have to be taken into account for the relationship between expressive behavior and mood changes. The predominance of facial behavior in the speaker role of an individual found in patients and control groups points to the integrated communicative function of the verbal and nonverbal elements. However, recovered schizophrenic patients exhibited a dissociation of these elements. Implications for our understanding of nonverbal communications are discussed.},
