From the Paper:
"Many neuropsychiatric disorders differ between the sexes in incidence, symptoms, and age at onset. To investigate the effects of X-chromosome aneuploidy and of sex steroid deficiency during childhood on brain structure and function, researchers, in one study, used neuropsychological tests and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study the brains of 18 women with Turner's syndrome (TS) and 19 healthy control women of similar age.Nine TS subjects had mosaic 45, X karyotypes, and nine had non-mosaic 45, X. The TS group had significantly lower scores than the controls for all the Wechsler adult intelligence scale tests, except those for verbal comprehension and reading level. The greatest difference was in the visuospatial construction."
