  "abstract": "<p>Fragile X syndrome is a form of syndromic autism whose genetic causes have been relatively well uncovered. It is<br>\nactually mainly caused by a CGG triplet expansion in the 5&rsquo; UTR sequence of FMR1 gene, affecting mostly men. FMR1<br>\nencodes a mRNA binding protein which is involved in the regulation of local translation at the synaptic level. The<br>\nmechanisms leading from such gene mutations to a neurodevelopmental disorder still need to be investigated. While<br>\nseveral studies have shown that the neuronal development is driven by cellular activity and connectivity, we aim to<br>\nfurther investigate the effect of FMR1 repression on the neuronal activity taking advantage of IPSC-derived neurons<br>\nfrom patient&rsquo;s cells. IPSC-derived neurons will be investigated through calcium imaging to characterized their pattern<br>\nof spontaneous activities, as well as their capability to respond to neurotransmitter through extra-synaptic receptors.<br>\nA multielectrode array approach is going to be used to analyse the overall network activities. Those studies should<br>\nprovide further information on the impairment of activity-dependent neuronal development in Fragile X syndrome.</p>",
