The University of California, Irvine was awarded a $488,507 federal Project Grant (R01NS137630) 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. The 5-year grant, effective May 1, 2025, supports pre-clinical translational studies to investigate targeting synaptic dysfunction as a potential disease-modifying therapy for lissencephaly, a severe brain malformation disorder associated with drug-resistant epilepsy and intellectual disability. The research approach combines advanced cellular, molecular, electrophysiological, and behavioral techniques in mouse models and human-derived patient neurons to elucidate the effects of genetically-based cortical development defects on neurodevelopmental disorder pathologies and evaluate therapeutic modulation of glutamatergic synaptic function.
