ROLE OF EXCITATION AND INHIBITION IN RETT SYNDROME

by

Reference: 5F31MH078678n.a.2 Abstract: MeCP2 is a transcriptional repressor critical for normal neurological function. Rett syndrome (RTT) is a progressive neurodevelopmental disease caused by predominantly loss of function mutations in the X-linked gene encoding the transcriptional repressor, methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) genes. Classic RTT patients exhibit a spectrum of neurological phenotypes that include tremors, ataxia, seizures, … Read more

Modeling of pathogenic breathing pattern dysregulation in cardiopulmonary disease

by

Reference: 5R33HL087347 Abstract: Ventilatory arrhythmia plays a pathogenic role in many common respiratory disorders ranging from sleep apnea, and acute lung injury to ventilatory support in the setting of chronic lung disease. Brainstem neural circuits that control cardiopulmonary functions generate oscillatory patterns that drive respiratory as well as sympathetic motor activities. These patterns exhibit highly … Read more
