Nadine Gogolla, Jocelyn J. LeBlanc, Kathleen B. Quast, Thomas C. Südhof, Michela Fagiolini, Takao K. Hensch
Abstract One unifying explanation for the complexity of Autism Spectrum
Disorders (ASD) may lie in the disruption of excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) circuit
balance during critical periods of development. We examined whether Parvalbumin
(PV)-positive inhibitory neurons, which normally drive experience-dependent
circuit refinement (Hensch Nat Rev Neurosci 6:877–888, 1), are disrupted across

Replication of CNTNAP2 association with nonword repetition and support for FOXP2 association with timed reading and motor activities in a dyslexia family sample Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 39-49 - 2011

Abstract Two functionally related genes, FOXP2 and CNTNAP2, influence language
abilities in families with rare syndromic and common nonsyndromic forms of
impaired language, respectively. We investigated whether these genes are
associated with component phenotypes of dyslexia and measures of sequential
motor ability. Quantitative transmission disequilibrium testing (QTDT) and
linear association mod... hiện toàn bộ
Infant siblings and the investigation of autism risk factors - 2012

Massolo, Stacey C. Meyerer, Sandra M. Mohammed, McKenzie Oliver, Sally Ozonoff, Juhi Pandey, Adam Schroeder, Kristine M. Shedd-Wise
AbstractInfant sibling studies have been at the vanguard of autism spectrum
disorders (ASD) research over the past decade, providing important new knowledge
about the earliest emerging signs of ASD and expanding our understanding of the
developmental course of this complex disorder. Studies focused on siblings of
children with ASD also have unrealized potential for contributing to ASD

AbstractTo examine brain volumes in substructures associated with the behavioral
features of children with FXS compared to children with idiopathic autism and
controls. A cross-sectional study of brain substructures was conducted at the
first time-point as part of an ongoing longitudinal MRI study of brain
development in FXS. The study included 52 boys between 18–42 months of age with
FXS and 118 ... hiện toàn bộ
