Abstract：
:Control of protein synthesis (mRNA translation) is essential for proper brain development and function. Perturbations to the mechanisms governing mRNA translation have repeatedly been shown to constitute a neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorder risk factor. Developing effective therapeutics for brain disorders will require a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the control of protein synthesis in brain function. Studies using transgenic animal models have been invaluable towards this end, providing exciting new insights into the genetic basis of brain disorders with hopeful prospects for new and effective treatment options.
