Brain Dev 32:425-7. 2010..An altered preset of the glutamate receptors, due to the presence of a haploinsufficiency of SHANK3/PROSAP2, could explain the different results of risperidone therapy observed in our patient with 22q13.3 deletion syndrome...

Assessing attentional systems in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderMaria Casagrande
