RSRF-Funded Researchers Discover That Increasing Norepinephrine Stabilizes Breathing Patterns in a Mouse Model of Rett Syndrome

13 de Diciembre de 2005

Gérard Hilaire of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Laurent Villard of the French National Institutes of Health (INSERM) and Jan-Marino Ramirez of the University of Chicago and colleagues report in the December 14th, 2005 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience that the breathing disturbances in a mouse model of Rett Syndrome originate, at least in part, from a deficiency in norepinephrine and serotonin in a specific brain region called the medulla. This work was funded in part by the Rett Syndrome Research Foundation (RSRF). To read more please click here.
