Rapid progress in identifying the genes underlying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has
provided the substrate for a first wave of analyses into the underlying neurobiology. This …

Psychologists and psychiatrists tend to be little aware that (a) microbes in our brains and
guts are capable of altering our behavior;(b) viral DNA that was incorporated into our DNA …

Over the last decade, transcriptome studies of postmortem tissue from subjects with
schizophrenia revealed that synaptic, mitochondrial, immune system, gamma-aminobutyric …

Genetic susceptibility to intellectual disability (ID), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and
schizophrenia (SCZ) often arises from mutations in the same genes, suggesting that they …

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) defined by
impairments in social communication and social interactions, accompanied by repetitive …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have rapidly become a powerful tool in genetic
studies of complex diseases and traits. Traditionally, single marker-based tests have been …

Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders are a highly disabling and heterogeneous
group of developmental and mental disorders, resulting from complex interactions of genetic …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify genetic variants that distinguish a control
population from a population with a specific trait. Two challenges in GWAS are:(1) …

We used a mouse model of the schizophrenia-predisposing 22q11. 2 microdeletion to
evaluate how this genetic lesion affects cortical neural circuits at the synaptic, cellular, and …

The transport of N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate receptors (NMDAR s) is crucial for neuronal plasticity
and synapse formation. Here, we show that KIF 3B, a member of the kinesin superfamily …
