Learning steers the ontogeny of an efficient hunting sequence in zebrafish larvae

eLife, 2020
Goal-directed behaviors may be poorly coordinated in young animals but, with age and experience, behavior progressively adapts to efficiently exploit the animal’s ecological niche.

Premutation in the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) Gene Affects Maternal Zn-milk and Perinatal Brain Bioenergetics and Scaffolding

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Fragile X premutation alleles have 55-200 CGG repeats in the 5' UTR of the FMR1 gene. Altered zinc (Zn) homeostasis has been reported in fibroblasts from > 60 y old premutation carriers, in which Zn supplementation significantly restored Zn-dependent ...

Cognitive and behavioral improvement in adults with fragile X syndrome treated with metformin‐two cases

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background The majority of individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS) have intellectual disability, behavioral problems, autism, and language deficits. IQ typically declines with age in boys with the full mutation.

Natural Antioxidants: A Novel Therapeutic Approach to Autism Spectrum Disorders?

Antioxidants, 2020
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental syndromes with both genetic and environmental origins. Several recent studies have shown that inflammation and oxidative stress may play a key role in supporting the pathogenesis and the ...

Prematurely terminated intron-retaining mRNAs invade axons in SFPQ null-driven neurodegeneration and are a hallmark of ALS

Nature Communications, 2022
Nuclear depletion and cytoplasmic accumulation of splicing factor SFPQ are hallmarks of ALS. Here the authors demonstrate a relationship between loss of SFPQ and the emergence in neurites of intron-retaining mRNAs enriched in ALS models and tissues.

Subjective Experience of Episodic Memory and Metacognition: A Neurodevelopmental Approach [PDF]

, 2013
Episodic retrieval is characterized by the subjective experience of remembering. This experience enables the co-ordination of memory retrieval processes and can be acted on metacognitively.

Disaster in pregnancy: midwifery continuity positively impacts infant neurodevelopment, QF2011 study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2018
Background Research shows that continuity of midwifery carer in pregnancy improves maternal and neonatal outcomes. This study examines whether midwifery group practice (MGP) care during pregnancy affects infant neurodevelopment at 6-months of age ...

Screening autism-associated environmental factors in differentiating human neural progenitors with fractional factorial design-based transcriptomics

Scientific Reports, 2023
Research continues to identify genetic variation, environmental exposures, and their mixtures underlying different diseases and conditions. There is a need for screening methods to understand the molecular outcomes of such factors. Here, we investigate a

CNVs in neurodevelopmental disorders

Oncotarget, 2015
Copy number variations (CNVs) consist of duplications or deletions of chromosomal regions ranging from a few hundred to more than a million bases in size, and are likely to play a role in phenotypic diversity and evolution. Recent advances in the identification and mapping of CNVs among normal individuals and in model systems, using bioinformatics and ...

A randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of ganaxolone in children and adolescents with fragile X syndrome

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2017
Background Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system deficits are integral to the pathophysiologic development of fragile X syndrome (FXS). Ganaxolone, a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator, is hypothesized to improve symptoms such as anxiety ...
