Reference: Fisher Simon Abstract: The Fisher lab has previously reported that mutations of a gene, called FOXP2, cause a severe developmental communication disorder. FOXP2 abnormalities lead to problems with articulating speech, accompanied by impairment in many aspects of language ability. The protein made by FOXP2 controls the behavior of cells by binding to DNA and … Read more

Reference: PROJECT2 Abstract: The objective of this project is to determine whether the role of MeCP2 runs out during the early stages of development organism, once induced neuronal maturation, or whether it may also be important in advanced stages of life, possibly exerting a maintenance of different biological activities. The transgenic model we have created … Read more
Reference: 3 Abstract: This study aims at understanding the causes and the ways that lead to the failure of small structures, dendritic spines, distributed on neurons in regions (synapses) in which nerve cells are approaching to communicate with each other. Rett Syndrome In this malfunction has a reversible and an irreversible phase . Specifically, the … Read more
Reference: 1 Abstract: Some studies have used the eye tracker technology in the SR for the observation of the power of choice and recognition of the concepts of color, shape, size and spatial orientation (Baptista et al., 2006; De Lima Velloso et al., 2009). Recent studies in patients with SR (Vignoli et al., 2010) have … Read more
