Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alison J Mehlhorn"
- Alison J Mehlhorn's research primarily focuses on prenatal brain anomalies and neurological disorders, specifically investigating mild fetal cerebral ventriculomegaly and the genetic underpinnings of developmental dyslexia.
- In her 2017 study, Mehlhorn analyzed 121 cases of mild ventriculomegaly to characterize its prevalence and the effectiveness of ancillary tests at a tertiary referral center, highlighting the complexities associated with prenatal diagnosis.
- Her earlier work in 2014 explored the positioning of neocortical neurons affected by shRNA targeting dyslexia susceptibility genes, contributing to the understanding of genetic factors in developmental dyslexia.
