patterning and regionalization (laying out the master plan of brain architecture), neurogenesis and neuronal migration, gliogenesis and glia cell differentiation, neuronal differentiation and circuit formation (axonogenesis, dendritic arborization, synaptogenesis, and myelination), and circuit refinement and...
What role do genetics and epigenetics play in early infant neural and developmental outcome? The relation of genetics and epigenetics with SES and neural development is a rela- tively unexplored yet important field for future endeavors (10). Strong genetic effects on neonatal MRI outcomes have ...
The second strategy for capturing the patient genetics is to simply use the patient’s cells as the model. This approach has gained considerable traction in the recent past thanks to cellular reprogramming to create induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells (Takahashi and Yamanaka2006). These cells can...
