Additional family meetings of rare genetic developmental disorders planned for summer 2019 Family-organized groups are planning a number of meetings in 2019 for individuals with rare genetic neurodevelopmental conditions, including those due to 16p11.2 copy number variants and mutations in ASXL3, CHAMP1,…

New mathematical approaches to dissect neuronal circuit alterations in Rett syndrome using EEG data Electroencephalogram (EEG) scalp recordings are one of the most common measures of brain activity, but EEG data lacks cellular resolution. Stefano Panzeri aims to develop new mathematical models based on…
