Researchers have identified a potential molecular mechanism that causes Fragile X syndrome in the developing fetal brain. Read More
Fragile X syndrome patients with prematuration had a much earlier onset of neurological problems, including earlier symptoms of neurodegeneration. They also experienced emotional processing problems. Some of the most common emotional processing disorders reported were mood regulation, anxiety, and psychosis. Read More
Researchers report functional alterations in L-type calcium channels were detected in models of Fragile X syndrome. Read More
Researchers report a drug used to slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease may help to reverse memory and learning problems in teens who binge drink. Read More
Researchers report neurons in mice with a genetic defect that causes Fragile X are similar to those in mice without the syndrome, but fail to interact correctly. This failure results in the cognitive impairment associated with FXS. Read More
A new study reports children with Fragile X syndrome show bias toward threatening rather than positive emotion. Read More
Researchers report FMR1 and ZC3H14 proteins both regulate mRNA, which may explain their importance in memory and learning. Read More
Researchers report a common diabetes drug helped to restore protein production in the brain to normal levels and repaired brain connections in mouse models of Fragile X. Read More
