Schizophrenia (Scz), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability are common complex neurodevelopmental disorders. Kainate receptors (KARs) are ionotropic glutamate ion channels involved in synaptic plasticity which are modulated by aux...

Interaction of nutrition and genetics via DNMT3L-mediated DNA methylation determines cognitive decline (2019)
Journal Article
Flitton, M., Rielly, N., Warman, R., Warden, D., Smith, A. D., Macdonald, I. A., & Knight, H. M. (2019). Interaction of nutrition and genetics via DNMT3L-mediated DNA methylation determines cognitive decline. Neurobiology of Aging, 78, 64-73. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2019.02.001

Low homocysteine levels and B vitamin treatment are reported to protect against declining cognitive health. Both B vitamins and homocysteine are involved in the production of S-adenosylmethionine, a universal methyl donor essential for the process of...
