Neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders represent an interconnected molecular system

Molecular-genetic mechanisms of memory formation in mouse models of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders

Neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders are a significant and expanding global health crisis. Many individuals affected by these disorders have social and cognitive symptoms represent significant sources of ongoing disability that are refractory to available treatment options. The search for cures and therapies for disorders fundamentally requires an understanding of the core neuropat...

Gut Microbiota and Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Neuropsychiatric disorders and renal diseases: an update.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms are frequently associated to renal dysfunction and may compromise negatively the clinical course as well as the quality of life, and the functional status of the patients. The neuropsychiatric disorders associated with renal disease may present various forms according to the natural history of the disease, and remain underdiagnosed and undertreated. There are few data ...

Molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders, ADHD and autism.

Neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism represent a significant economic burden, which justify vigorous research to uncover its genetics and developmental clinics for a diagnostic workup. The urgency of addressing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder comorbidities is seen in the chilling fact that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADH...

Exome sequencing of extended families with autism reveals genes shared across neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders

BACKGROUND Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) comprise a range of neurodevelopmental conditions of varying severity, characterized by marked qualitative difficulties in social relatedness, communication, and behavior. Despite overwhelming evidence of high heritability, results from genetic studies to date show that ASD etiology is extremely heterogeneous and only a fraction of autism genes have b...
