BACKGROUND Neurodevelopmental disorders are caused by abnormalities in the
developing brain. Such abnormalities can occur as a result of germline or somatic mutations …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA transcripts expressed throughout the brain
that can regulate neuronal gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Here, we …

Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a severe form of X-linked mental retardation caused by mutations in
the gene coding for methyl CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2). Mice deficient in MeCP2 have a …

In the 50 years since Andreas Rett first described the syndrome that came to bear his name,
and is now known to be caused by a mutation in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) …

The X-linked transcriptional repressor methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2), known for its
role in the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome, is emerging as an important …

Environmental enrichment (EE) increases levels of novelty and complexity, inducing
enhanced sensory, cognitive and motor stimulation. In wild‐type rodents, EE has been found …

Environmental enrichment (EE) is known to profoundly affect the central nervous system
(CNS) at the functional, anatomical and molecular level, both during the critical period and …

Neurodevelopmental diseases (NDDs), such as autism spectrum disorders, epilepsy, and
schizophrenia, are characterized by diverse facets of neurological and psychiatric …
