Motor and memory training early in life postpones the onset of difficulties in those areas in a mouse model of Rett syndrome, according to a study published today in Nature. Stimulating neurons involved in those skills appears to mimic the effects of training.
Mutations in the gene MECP2 cause Rett syndrome, which often overlaps…
