Beyond Quiescent and Active: Intermediate Microglial Transcriptomic States in a Mouse Model of Down Syndrome

Research on microglia in Down syndrome (DS) has shown that microglial activation, increased inflammatory gene expression, and oxidative stress occur at different ages in DS brains. However, most studies resulted in simplistic definitions of microglia as qu ...

Agency Deficits in a Human Genetic Model of Schizophrenia: Insights From 22q11DS Patients

Olaf Blanke, Maude Schneider, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon, Oliver Alan Kannape, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Henrique Galvan Debarba

Schizophrenia is a chronic and disabling mental illness characterized by a disordered sense of self. Current theories suggest that deficiencies in the sense of control over one’s actions (Sense of Agency, SoA) may underlie some of the symptoms of schizophr ...

Neurotrophic-mimetic strategy to rescue synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions in a mouse model of Down syndrome

Diego Ghezzi

Down syndrome (DS) is caused by the triplication of human chromosome 21, and it is the most frequent genetic cause of cognitive disabilities. Although numerous studies have shown that cognitive impairment possibly arises from dysfunction of the hippocampal ...

The phenotypic impact of naturally occurring genetic and molecular mitochondrial variation in a Drosophila Genetic Reference Population

Roel Paulus Josephus Bevers

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies aim to dissect the relationship between genotype and phenotype. So far, the focus has been on nuclear genetic determinants as variation in the mitochondrial genome is often low in the study cohorts. Despite this observ ...

Aerobic exercise and a BDNF-mimetic therapy rescue learning and memory in a mouse model of Down syndrome

Diego Ghezzi

Down syndrome (DS) is caused by the triplication of human chromosome 21 and represents the most frequent genetic cause of intellectual disability. The trisomic Ts65Dn mouse model of DS shows synaptic deficits and reproduces the essential cognitive disabili ...

An affected core drives network integration deficits of the structural connectome in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Alessandra Griffa, Patric Hagmann, Marie Schaer, Frantisek Vasa

Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is a genetic disease known to lead to cerebral structural alterations, which we study using the framework of the macroscopic white-matter connectome. We create weighted connectomes of 44 patients with 22q11DS ...
