		<description><![CDATA[New research shows that using nicotine during pregnancy affects genes involved in myelination and, consequently may help explain why the children of mothers who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to develop such psychiatric disorders as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, autism, and even drug abuse. In a paper presented at Neuroscience 2010, the annual [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Deficits in reading performance may differ in etiology depending on the IQ of the individuals who have the deficits. According to an article in Behavior Genetics, Professor Sally Wadsworth and colleagues confirmed previous research showing that there is a stronger genetic element in the reading deficits of children with higher IQs (mean = 108.97 &#177; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Bates and colleagues have reported new findings about the gene DYX1C1, which has been a focal point for research on genetic contributions to dyslexia for at least six years. Writing for the journal Molecular Psychiatry, the research team revealed that their examination of the relationship between DYX1C1 and variations in reading ability points at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a forthcoming report in Behavioral Genetics, Professor M. van Leeuwen of VU University (Amsterdam, NL) and colleagues reported that the vast majority of variation in children&#8217;s reading performance is heritable, with most of the variance in reading attributable to IQ and memory. The researchers studied twins and siblings (only some of whom had reading [...]]]></description>
