This work focuses on understanding how dysfunctions in two autism-linked genes <em>ANK2<\/em> and <em>SCN2A<\/em> affect neuronal function. This project will shed light on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to the disorder, and potentially identify new avenues for therapeutic intervention. Congrats to everyone involved! We are very much looking forward to the next five years (plus) of collaboration with Kevin and his team!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1128,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1126"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1126"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1129,"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1126\/revisions\/1129"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pjenkinslab.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
