Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are two
debilitating neurodevelopmental disorders. The former is associated with social impairments …

The small GTPases from the Ras superfamily play crucial roles in basic cellular processes
during practically the entire process of neurodevelopment, including neurogenesis …

Substantial work has been devoted to better understand the contribution of the myriad of
genes that may underly the development of Parkinson's disease (PD) and their role in …

Background Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) comprise many complex and clinically distinct
neurodevelopmental conditions, with increasing evidence linking them to parkinsonism …

There are many reports suggesting an important role of genetic factors in the
etiopathogenesis of essential tremor (ET), encouraging continuing the research for possible …

Background: Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder, which is mainly
characterized by bilateral tremor (postural and/or kinetic) in the upper limbs, with other parts …

Dopamine (DA) signaling is critical for movement, motivation, and addictive behavior. The
neuronal GTPase, Rit2, is enriched in DA neurons (DANs), binds directly to the DA …

Background: Approximately 2% of the human core promoter short tandem repeats (STRs)
reach lengths of≥ 6 repeats, which may in part be a result of adaptive evolutionary …

Following its evoked release, dopamine (DA) signaling is rapidly terminated by presynaptic
reuptake, mediated by the cocaine-sensitive DA transporter (DAT). DAT surface availability …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and
arises from dopamine (DA) neuron death selectively in the substantia nigra pars compacta …
