Research Abstract |
Neurodevelopmental disorders includes mental retardation, autism spectrum disorder, learning disability, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Molecules that modulate synaptic homeostasis are considered to be important substrates of pathogenesis in these disorders. This project reveals that dysfunction of neuronal channels also leads to neurodevelopmental disorders. These neuropsychiatric phenotypes are not caused by secondary effects of epileptic seizures or antiepileptic drugs.
