Developmental trajectory of functional neocortical networks in an in vitro mouse model of Rett syndrome
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss-of-function MECP2 mutations, affecting ~1 in 10,000 female births. RTT causes progressive impairments in early life and has no cure. Despite known genetic origin in RTT, the mechanisms by which MECP2 mutations disrupt brain …

Effects of acute and repeated cannabinoid injections on immediate and delayed object memory and unconditioned anxiety – a developmental trajectory
Cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) are inhibitory G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that bind endogenous and exogenous cannabinoids. In an unaltered state, endogenous cannabinoids regulate system function and synchrony. Administration of cannabinoids such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and …

Developmental Trajectories of Effortful Control In Young Boys With Fragile X Syndrome
… of the current study is to better understand the developmental trajectories of effortful control in boys with FXS. Second, the study used a multidimensional approach to investigating this developmental trajectory by examining the role of adaptive behaviors and autistic symptoms in the development …

Application of the EM Algorithm for Mixture Models
A developmental trajectory describes the course of behaviour over time. Iden tifying multiple trajectories within an overall developmental process permits a focus on subgroups of particular interest. This research introduces a SAS macro program that identifies trajectories by using the …
