Different Ras isoforms regulate synaptic plasticity in opposite directions
The small GTPase Ras is an intracellular signaling hub required for long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus and for memory formation. Genetic alterations in Ras signaling (i.e., RASopathies) are linked to cognitive disorders in humans.

Whole-exome sequencing reveals the genetic causes and modifiers of moyamoya syndrome
Moyamoya vasculopathy secondary to various genetic disorders is classified as moyamoya syndrome (MMS). Recent studies indicate MMS occurs due to a combination of genetic modifiers and causative mutations for the primary genetic disorders.

Developmental effect of RASopathy mutations on neuronal network activity on a chip
RASopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding components and regulators of the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway, resulting in overactivation of signaling.
