Researchers with the Center for Neurogenetics seek to understand genetic and epigenetic influences on early brain development and related disorders (such as spina bifida, brain malformation, developmental delay, autism spectrum, and epilepsy), and on adult-onset disorders (such as Alzheimer’s and other dementias, Parkinson's, ataxias, demyelinating disorders, and epilepsy).
Center researchers focus on:
