Spatiotemporal diversity in molecular and functional abnormalities in the mdx dystrophic brain

Abstract excerpt

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and neuropsychiatric abnormalities. Loss of full-length dystrophins is both necessary and sufficient to initiate DMD. These isoforms are expressed in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex (Dp427c), and cerebellar Purkinje cells (Dp427p). However, our understanding of the consequences of their absence, which is crucial for developing...
