Within animal populations there is variation among individuals in their tendency to be social,
where more sociable individuals associate more with other individuals. Consistent inter …

Transmitter release at synapses ensures faithful chemical coding of information that is
transmitted in the sub-second time frame. The brain, the central unit of information …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders with
symptoms including social deficits, anxiety, and communication difficulties. However, ASD …

miR-132 and miR-212 are structurally related microRNAs that have been found to exert
powerful modulatory effects within the central nervous system (CNS). Notably, these …

The emergence of eusociality represents a major evolutionary transition from solitary to
group reproduction. The most commonly studied eusocial species, honey bees and ants …

Epigenetic changes underlie developmental and age related biology. Promising
epidemiologic research implicates epigenetics in disease risk and progression, and …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a debilitating brain illness causing social deficits, delayed
development and repetitive behaviors. ASD is a heritable neurodevelopmental disorder with …

In this review, we describe and discuss neurodevelopmental phenotypes arising from rare,
high penetrance genomic variants which directly influence synaptic vesicle cycling (SVC …

Here, we review the functional roles of cyclic ADP-ribose and CD38, a transmembrane
protein with ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity, in mouse social behavior via the regulation of …

Multiple biological processes throughout development require intracellular vesicular
trafficking, where the SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment …
