The Neurobiology of twice exceptional people is used to understand the biological reasons behind people being both gifted as well as mentally disabled. This page is related to Twice exceptional.

Introduction to Twice Exceptionality
Here should go some basic info on twice exceptional people and a link to the Twice exceptional page. Twice exceptional people are those who have both a learning disability as well as a high-IQ level. This condition can manifest in with various disabilities, such as with ADHD, aspergers, OCD, or reading disabilities. Those who have this condition require special treatment, separate from the common treatment methodologies for the individual disabilities. The remainder of this paragraph will include additional intro points to give a general overview of twice exceptional individuals.

Common Disabilities Found with High IQ Individuals
Various disabilities are paired with High IQ. Individuals will posses powerful mental capabilities but will also find one or two prticular cognitive functions especially difficult. Each disability will accompany a neurological basis.

Reading Disabilities
These disorders included examples of inadequate reading speed, accuracy, comprehension, and dyslexia. These disorders can be found in individuals of normal or even high IQ levels. Previous evidence suggests that these RDs have a potential basis in faulty neuronal migration. And the basis of this faulty migration potentially rests in the failure to express three potential target genes, KIAA0319, DCDC2, and DYX1C1. It has been found that these genes are in fact expressed following correct neuronal migration.

Neurological Basis for High IQ Levels
This section will delve into the biological reasons behind High IQ Levels Inspection time is a metric used to determine levels of psychometric intelligence. It has been shown that there is a correlation between the activity of compounds in the brain which release acetylcholine improve inspection time and hence performance on IQ tests.

Education and Management Methods for Twice Exceptional Education
This section will describe the current resaearch on the management of twice exceptional students. The treatment methods will include conventional drugs such as allopathic stimulants (adderal) and herbal supplements, as well as psychotherapy techniques.

Stimulants
Stimulants such as adderal, along with their effects on twice exceptional students.

Herbal supplements
Herbal supplements such as Keenmind (Bhrami, Indian herbal extract), and their impact on cognitive enhancement. Professor Con Stough's studies will be discussed here - including the increased acetylchloine presence in the brain.

Psychotherapy treatments
Counseling, and close coaching to carefully monitor and guide patient's progress (primarily ADHD patients).
