CHAMIZ, Andrés Molero    URBINA, Guadalupe Nathzidy Rivera. Down syndrome, brain and development. Summa psicol. UST (En línea) []. 2013, 10, 1, pp.143-154. ISSN 0718-0446.

In this review we briefly describe the main aspects that characterize the Developmental Psychology and Neuroscience as scientific disciplines necessary in the study and understanding of ontogenetic development and it disorders. This allows us to specify the nature of the different stages of development and to evaluate the neural substrates of behavior associated with these evolutionary changes. Finally, we discuss the neurobiological and evolutionary characteristics of a genetically determined neurodevelopmental disorder, the Down syndrome.
