Genetics Behind Brain Connectivity in ASD |
Principal InvestigatorPrincipal Investigator |
Co, Marissa |
DescriptionDescription |
Using new, advanced molecular biology techniques, this project will investigate how two genes called TBR1 and FOXP2, both implicated in autism risk, affect connections between the brain's cortex and thalamus. This study will help elucidate the different cell types in the brain and uncover cell pathways that will be important targets for treatment. |
