Plasticity and mTOR: Towards Restoration of Impaired Synaptic Plasticity in mTOR-Related Neurogenetic Disorders
OBJECTIVE To review the recent literature on the clinical features, genetic mutations, neurobiology associated with dysregulation of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), and clinical trials for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1) and fragile X syndrome (FXS), and phosphatase and tensin homolog hamartoma syndromes (PTHS), which are neurogenetic disorders associated with ...
متن کاملNeurogenetic Effects on Cognition in Aging Brains: A Window of Opportunity for Intervention?
Knowledge of genetic influences on cognitive aging can constrain and guide interventions aimed at limiting age-related cognitive decline in older adults. Progress in understanding the neural basis of cognitive aging also requires a better understanding of the neurogenetics of cognition. This selective review article describes studies aimed at deriving specific neurogenetic information from thre...
متن کاملInduced Pluripotent Stem Cells to Model and Treat Neurogenetic Disorders
Remarkable advances in cellular reprogramming have made it possible to generate pluripotent stem cells from somatic cells, such as fibroblasts obtained from human skin biopsies. As a result, human diseases can now be investigated in relevant cell populations derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of patients. The rapid growth of iPSC technology has turned these cells into multipurp...
متن کاملSleep Disorders in Childhood Neurogenetic Disorders
enetic advances in the past three decades have transformed our understanding and treatment of many human diseases including neurogenetic disorders. Most neurogenetic disorders can be classified as "rare disease," but collectively neurogenetic disorders are not rare and are commonly encountered in general pediatric practice. The authors decided to select eight relatively well-known neurogenetic ...
متن کاملMolecular substrates of plasticity in the developing visual cortex.
Ocular dominance plasticity may be the paradigmatic in vivo model of activity-dependent plasticity. More than four decades of intense research has delineated the network-level rules that govern synaptic change in this model. The recent characterization of a murine model for ocular dominance plasticity has facilitated rapid progress on a new front, extending our understanding of the molecular me...
