The neural crest (NC) is a transient, multipotent and migratory cell population that generates
an astonishingly diverse array of cell types during vertebrate development. These cells …

Abstract Background 22q11. 2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS), a copy number variation
(CNV) disorder, occurs in approximately 1: 4000 live births due to a heterozygous …

The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) contains a remarkable array of neural cells,
each with a complex pattern of connections that together generate perceptions and higher …

Background: Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS), a genetic deletion condition with numerous
cognitive sequelae, is associated with a high rate of psychiatric disorders in childhood. More …

We describe a powerful new approach for discovering globally conserved regulatory
elements between two genomes. The method is fast, simple and comprehensive, without …

The neural crest is a remarkable embryonic population of cells found only in vertebrates and
has the potential to give rise to many different cell types contributing throughout the body …

Behavioral neurogenetics research is a new method of scientific inquiry that focuses on
investigation of neurodevelopmental dysfunction associated with specific genetic conditions …

Background: Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) has been identified as a risk factor for
developing schizophrenia. Qualitative neuroimaging studies indicated that VCFS was …

In healthy children, there is a paucity of information on the growth of the brainstem and
thalamus measured anatomically magnetic resonance imaging. The relations of age …

Sleep and wakefulness are regulated primarily by inhibitory interactions between the
hypothalamus and brainstem. The expression of the states of rapid eye movement (REM) …
