Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Paulien Odent"
- Paulien Odent's recent research focuses on the role of Neurobeachin (NBEA) in neurodevelopmental processes and its implications in conditions such as autism and fear conditioning, highlighting the protein's influence on synaptic connectivity and behavior.
- In the September 2023 study, Odent investigates sex-independent effects of NBEA deficiency on fear conditioning in mice, revealing alterations in both cued and contextual fear responses, which were previously thought to be influenced primarily by sex.
- Previous findings from 2021 emphasize the social deficits associated with Neurobeachin haploinsufficiency in a mouse model for autism, underlining the genetic factors tied to autism spectrum disorder and its sexually divergent characteristics.
