Abnormal activation of parvalbumin neurons in the young mouse auditory cortex manifests as a result of maternal neglect. Read More
A new study reports some aspects of autism spectrum disorders are linked to defects in how peripheral nerves communicate sensory information to the brain. Read More
New research suggests environmental exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical commonly found in plastics and resins, could suppress a gene critical to nerve cell function and the development of the central nervous system. Exposure to BPA could predispose humans to a number of neurodevelopmental and other health disorders. Read More
Isoguavacine, an old experimental compound which exclusively targets peripheral neurons, mitigates abnormal touch sensitivity in mouse models of ASD. The compound also improved body mass, reduces anxiety, and in one genetic subset of mice, prevented the development of brain abnormalities that arise from altered touch response. Read More
Exosomes carry signaling information required to regulate neural circuit development. Read More
According to researchers, an experimental drug extends lifespan in male mice and ameliorates a number of behavioral symptoms of Rett syndrome in female mice, signifying the disorder may be reversible. Read More
According to new research, one protein can regulate the expression of a large number of genes that modulate pain. Read More
Researchers have discovered the mechanism behind the fainting disorder, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Read More
A new study reports a protein associated with Rett syndrome is also among a group of three proteins that affect the function of a gene previously linked to OCD. Read More
Researchers have implicated a new gene associated with Rett syndrome in idiopathic autism. Read More
Findings could lead to new treatments for Rett Syndrome and other forms of autism, researchers report. Read More
Findings about the distribution of condensates in Rett syndrome shed light on how cells compartmentalize chromosomes and provide new insights into potential paths of therapies for the neurodevelopmental disorder. Read More
