AIDA-1, encoded by ANKS1B, is an abundant postsynaptic scaffold protein essential for brain development. Mutations of ANKS1B are closely associated with various psychiatric disorders. However, very little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying AIDA-1's involvements under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Here, we discovered an interaction between AIDA-1 and the SynGAP family Ras-GTPase activating protein (GAP) via affinity purification using AIDA-1d as the bait. Biochemical studies showed that the PTB domain of AIDA-1 binds to an extended NPx[F/Y]-motif of the SynGAP family proteins with high affinities. The high-resolution crystal structure of AIDA-1 PTB domain in complex with the SynGAP NPxF-motif revealed the molecular mechanism governing the specific interaction between AIDA-1 and SynGAP. Our study not only explains why patients with ANKS1B or SYNGAP1 mutations share overlapping clinical phenotypes, but also allows identification of new AIDA-1 binding targets such as Ras and Rab interactors.

A Patient-Centered Perspective on Changes in Personal Characteristics After Deep Brain Stimulation.

Center for Neurological Restoration, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio.
Importance: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) results in improvements in motor function and quality of life in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), which might impact a patient's perception of valued personal characteristics. Prior studies investigating whether DBS causes unwanted changes to oneself or one's personality have methodological limitations that should be addressed.
Objective: To determine whether DBS is associated with changes in characteristics that patients with PD identify as personally meaningful.

Abnormal eye gaze is a hallmark characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The primary aim of the present research was to develop an Arabic version of an objective measure of ASD, the "autism index" (AI), based on eye gaze tracking to social and nonsocial stimuli validated initially in the United States. The initial phase of this study included the translation of English language eye-tracking stimuli into stimuli appropriate for an Arabic-speaking culture.

Article Synopsis
- Most neonatal and infantile-onset epilepsies are thought to have genetic causes, and early genetic testing could help improve treatment and outcomes for affected infants.
- The Gene-STEPS study involved four pediatric centers across Australia, Canada, the UK, and the USA, where researchers collected blood samples and clinical data from infants under 12 months old who had new-onset epilepsy or complex febrile seizures.
- Out of 100 enrolled infants, 43 (43%) received genetic diagnoses through rapid genome sequencing, showing the effectiveness of this method in identifying underlying genetic factors.
Development of webcam-collected and artificial-intelligence-derived social and cognitive performance measures for neurodevelopmental genetic syndromes.

This study focused on the development and initial psychometric evaluation of a set of online, webcam-collected, and artificial intelligence-derived patient performance measures for neurodevelopmental genetic syndromes (NDGS). Initial testing and qualitative input was used to develop four stimulus paradigms capturing social and cognitive processes, including social attention, receptive vocabulary, processing speed, and single-word reading. The paradigms were administered to a sample of 375 participants, including 163 with NDGS, 56 with idiopathic neurodevelopmental disability (NDD), and 156 neurotypical controls.
