A novel neurodevelopmental role for FMRP in collaboration with MAP1B, jointly orchestrating neuronal migration by influencing the microtubular cytoskeleton.
Ts65dn mice exhibit structural, functional, molecular, and genetic alterations that are modulated but unrecovered by prenatal chronic GTE-EGCG, highlighting the importance of holistic studies to understand complex disorders and treatments.
Epilepsy caused by focal Pten deletion is only prevented when both mTOR complexes are simultaneously inhibited, but not alone, suggesting they play independent roles in the development of epilepsy.

Mutation E334Q in cytoskeletal γ-actin leads to impaired interaction of actin filaments with actin-binding proteins belonging to the myosin and ADF/cofilin families.
Expression of mTORC1 pathway gene variants in mouse medial prefrontal cortex leads to shared alterations in pyramidal neuron morphology, positioning, and membrane excitability but different changes in excitatory synaptic transmission.

Loss of functional dystroglycan disrupts the formation and function of CCK+/CB1R+ inhibitory synapses in hippocampal CA1, resulting in reduced seizure thresholds in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy.
