Genetic Models and Molecular Pathways Underlying Autism Spectrum Disorders, Volume 241 provides the most recent information on the animal model systems that are available to study different forms of autism spectrum disorders. In addition to genetically engineered animals that uniquely model genetic forms of ASD, this volume also provides detailed chapters on a variety of specific topics, including An overview of genetic models of ASDs, Phenotypic modeling of ASD symptoms, Molecular mechanisms of NF1 model of ASD symptoms, Ube3a gene dosage disorders: molecular and circuit mechanisms of ASD, Circuit dysfunctions in ASD models, ERK signaling in genetic models of ASD, and more.

Zielgruppe

<p>The audience for this volume are basic researchers, preclinical neuroscientists and clinical/translational researchers developing novel diagnostics and therapeutics for autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. This would also be a great primer for graduate students and post-docs working in this field</p>
