Building on more than two decades of research, a study by MIT neuroscientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and ...

Fragile X syndrome causes a wide range of physical, mental and behavioural symptoms, including mild to severe intellectual ...

But in 2020, they found that another mode of signaling by the receptor—one that did not require ion flow—altered protein synthesis in the neuron and caused a physical shrinking of the ... be ...

MIT neuroscientists have made a breakthrough in treating fragile X syndrome by leveraging a novel neurotransmitter signaling ...

A new study shows that enhancing activity of a specific component of 'NMDA' receptors normalizes protein synthesis, neural activity and seizure susceptibility in the hippocampus of fragile X lab mice.

A recent theory about the basis for fragile X syndrome is now validated in a mouse ... of mGluR signaling can reverse several typical FXS symptoms in mice and provide the first comprehensive ...
