Geneticists have used a new mouse model to demonstrate the way a certain genetic mutation is linked to a type of autism in humans and affects brain development and behavior. The study took place at Heidelberg University Hospital's Department of Molecular Human Genetics. In the brain of genetically altered mice, the protein FOXP1 is not synthesized, which is also the case for individuals with a certain form of autism. Consequently, after birth the brain structures ...Thursday 13 November 2014
Brain Development in Individuals With Autism
Geneticists have used a new mouse model to demonstrate the way a certain genetic mutation is linked to a type of autism in humans and affects brain development and behavior. The study took place at Heidelberg University Hospital's Department of Molecular Human Genetics. In the brain of genetically altered mice, the protein FOXP1 is not synthesized, which is also the case for individuals with a certain form of autism.
