However, counselors receive little training to adequately help this population. In this article, counseling considerations related to individuals who have intellectual development disorder are discussed, with a particular focus on the presence of trauma in this population.

A total of 118 landslide locations were recorded and divided in the training and testing datasets. We selected 25 conditioning factors, and of these, we specified the most important ones by an information gain ratio (IGR) technique.

Gephyrin (Geph) is the principal scaffolding protein at inhibitory synapses and is essential for postsynaptic clustering of glycine (GlyRs) and GABA type A receptors. Consequently, gephyrin is crucial for maintaining the relationship between excitation and inhibition in normal brain function and mutations in the gephyrin gene (GPHN) are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsy.
