Autism Gene Study Finds Widespread Impact to Brain’s Growth Signaling Network Mutations in the autism-related Dyrk1a gene lead to brain undergrowth in mice. Researchers say an existing drug appears to reverse the damage. #genetics #neuroscience #science neurosciencenews.com/asd-genetics-u…

Page’s team is testing IGF-1 treatment on DYRK1A mice at different stages of development to determine whether treatment later in life can restore brain size bit.ly/autism_DYRK1A

The latest discoveries by Damon Page Lab suggest that key genes in growth signaling pathways play a role in the intellectual disability or developmental delay found in types of #autism spectrumnews.org/news/jump-star… peter hess for Spectrum (Autism Research News)

“One of the most exciting strengths of this work is that the authors are able to rescue the neural phenotypes pharmacologically, and one of the tested approaches is already FDA-approved,” says Summer Thyme bit.ly/autism_DYRK1A

Cuban 🇨🇺 for lunch with the lab! 😋😋😋 Thanks for your hard work during your summer internship in our lab Emma and good luck back at UAB 🏐🧠 AND Welcome to Scripps Research Graduate Program and your first rotation Bianca 🐀🧠👩‍🔬🔬

A really nice commentary on our work. Check it out here⬇️⬇️⬇️ Early Human Postnatal Brain Development Through the Lens of Rare Genetic Disorders biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-…

Birthdays look a little different now, but we can always rely on classic physics to 💨 out the candles! Thanks to my lab for a nice birthday surprise 🎂

December already?! Here, our November birthdays still practicing the safe way to make a birthday wish 😉👏👏👏Happy birthday to Jenna Levy Amy Allen and Ting An(not pictured but did a great journal club presentation today! Welcome to our lab, too!)

Late posting as this was available last summer. Still wanted to share here on the twitter machine! Environmental Enrichment Rescues Social Behavioral Deficits and Synaptic Abnormalities in Pten Haploinsufficient Mice mdpi.com/1251438 #mdpigenes via Genes MDPI

It's summer 🌴🌞😎 which means we have a SURFer in our lab🏄! Eliezer, our Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow, is collecting sagital mouse brain sections at 14 microns on the cryostat and doing a beautiful job😍! Stay tuned to see how they turn out 😉
