Lab awarded grant to study neonatal activity in Fragile X from the Clinical and Translational Scienc
With support from Children's and a gift from Dr Jack and Shirley Kaplan to George Washington University, this study is using a rat model of Fragile X syndrome (FXS) to identify the earliest possible cortical activity deficits in Fragile X syndrome. The results should inform development of pre-symptomatic EEG based diagnostics for autism in at-risk populations such as very pre-term infants. Identification of the network and synaptic mechanisms of the earliest deficits in cort
