A new study suggests that therapeutic interventions to treat
neurodevelopmental disorders may be more effective if done during the early
stages of brain development.”In order to stop the progression of neurodevelopmental disorders, it is
important to identify how and when brain circuits are changing during
development. Our study identifies when circuits are altered in addition to
how brain circuits are corrected,” said the study.The study of The Journal of Neuroscience, looks at Fragile X Syndrome
(FXS), a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder and a common cause of
intellectual disability, autism and anxiety disorders.

“Currently, there are no approved or effective therapies targeting specific
pathophysiology underlying the clinical manifestations of syndrome” study
revealed. adding, “We’re hoping to provide answers for when and how to
treat FXS to help with therapeutic options eventually.”
