Structural connectivity and patterns of gene expression provide insight into the mechanisms that may lead to the cognitive effects of a single-gene mutation Neurodevelopmental disorders are difficult to investigate because various biological causes may lead to the clusters of behaviours that are grouped within a diagnostic category. Focusing on neurodevelopmental disorder with a genetic origin […]
