This $632,243 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms of cerebellar dysfunction in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The primary goal is to elucidate how disruptions to cerebellar inhibitory neurons, particularly Purkinje cells and GABAergic interneurons, contribute to the pathogenesis of EBF3-related NDDs. The 5-year project, awarded to Baylor College of Medicine, will involve a cross-species approach, integrating in-depth human phenotyping with mechanistic studies of EBF3 haploinsufficiency in mouse models. The findings are expected to advance the understanding of cerebellar dysfunction in a range of NDDs.
