Research Advances Understanding of NF-Related Learning Disabilities
Through mouse models, Dr. Alcino Silva and his team of researchers have discovered that a neurotransmitter, GABA, exists in excess for those with NF. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. It decreased the plasticity of neurons.
Through drug treatments, Dr. Silva was able to reverse the learning deficiencies within mice with NF.
