Article Synopsis
- Rett syndrome is caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene, leading to various neurological issues in affected mice, such as motor function problems and abnormal breathing patterns.
- Research indicates that even after maturation, activating the Mecp2 gene in adult mice can reverse many of these symptoms and structural brain defects.
- The study suggests that while MECP2 is not critical for brain development, it is crucial for maintaining proper neurological functions in adults.
