Genetic and environmental modulation of neurodevelopmental disorders: translational insights from labs to beds
Highlights • Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are severely debilitating neuropsychiatric illnesses. • NDDs are caused by aberrant brain development, and have strong genetic causes and risk factors. • NDDs are also modulated by various environmental factors, and can be modeled experimentally. • An...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are severely debilitating neuropsychiatric illnesses. • NDDs are caused by aberrant brain development, and have strong genetic causes and risk factors. • NDDs are also modulated by various environmental factors, and can be modeled experimentally. • Animal models are a valuable tool to mimic a wide spectrum of NDDs and related conditions. • Here, we discuss the neurobiological mechanisms of selected NDDs and their experimental models. |
