A Pivotal Genetic Program Controlled by Thyroid Hormone during the Maturation of GABAergic Neurons

iScience, 2020
Summary: Mammalian brain development critically depends on proper thyroid hormone signaling, via the TRα1 nuclear receptor. The downstream mechanisms by which TRα1 impacts brain development are currently unknown. In order to investigate these mechanisms,

Better Vision Through Manipulation [PDF]

, 2002
For the purposes of manipulation, we would like to know what parts of the environment are physically coherent ensembles - that is, which parts will move together, and which are more or less independent.

Human fetal membrane-mesenchymal stromal cells generate functional spinal motor neurons in vitro

iScience, 2022
Summary: Human fetal membrane mesenchymal stromal cells (hFM-MSCs) are a cell population easily isolable from the amniochorionic membrane of term placentas, without ethical issues or safety limitations.

Neuronal F-Box protein FBXO41 regulates synaptic transmission and hippocampal network maturation

iScience, 2022
Summary: FBXO41 is a neuron-specific E3 ligase subunit implicated in epileptic encephalopathies. Fbxo41 null mutant (KO) mice show behavioral deficits and early lethality.

Audio-visual speech perception: a developmental ERP investigation [PDF]

, 2013
Being able to see a talking face confers a considerable advantage for speech perception in adulthood. However, behavioural data currently suggest that children fail to make full use of these available visual speech cues until age 8 or 9.

Arhgef2 regulates neural differentiation in the cerebral cortex through mRNA m6A-methylation of Npdc1 and Cend1

iScience, 2021
Summary: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is emerging as a vital factor regulating neural differentiation. Here, we report that deficiency of Arhgef2, a novel cause of a neurodevelopmental disorder we identified recently, impairs neurogenesis, neurite outgrowth,

Evidence for dynamic and multiple roles for huntingtin in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]

, 2013
Although mutations in the huntingtin gene (HTT) due to poly-Q expansion cause neuropathology in humans (Huntington's disease; HD), the normal function(s) of the gene and its protein (HTT) remain obscure.

Exploring face perception in disorders of development: evidence from Williams syndrome and autism [PDF]

, 2008
Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) and autism are characterized by different social phenotypes but have been said to show similar atypicalities of face-processing style.

Postnatal hyperosmolality alters development of hypothalamic feeding circuits with context-specific changes in ingestive behavior

iScience
Summary: Drinking and feeding are tightly coordinated homeostatic events and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) represents a possible node of neural integration for signals related to energy and fluid homeostasis.
