Exploring memory circuit changes in neurodevelopmental disorders
The Promise of Discovery Season 3, Episode 3
In this podcast we discuss our research using mice with a genetic deletion similar to a human neurodevelopmental disorder to understand how brain regions important for memory are affected. We discuss the methods we use in mice to study a memory region called the hippocampus and talk about how our research might lead to new treatments for neurodevelopmental conditions.
