Abstract excerpt
Converging evidence suggests that folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism may modulate cognitive functioning throughout the lifespan, but few studies have directly tested this hypothesis. This study examined the separate and combined effects of dietary and genetic manipulations of folate metabolism on neocortical functions in mice, modeling a common genetic variant in the MTHFD1 gene in humans. Mutant...
