The Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital (NRI), one of the world's first basic research institutes dedicated to childhood neurological diseases, recently joined with Genentech, Inc. and the journal Science Translational Medicine, to stage an international symposium on disorders of synaptic dysfunction -- a growing class of neurological disorders including autism. Leaders from around the world in academia, industry, and federal and non-federal funding organizations participated in the two-day event to improve understanding of these disorders and develop strategies to enhance the likelihood of developing successful therapies for individuals who live with such disorders.
