Timing is everything: unravelling the role of developmental myelination in neural network function

Neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder and developmental delay, affect ~15% of children and adolescents worldwide. Yet, we have a limited understanding of the underlying biological processes that contribute to these conditions. This project aims to learn how brain insulation helps regulate brain function and if inappropriate insulation during brain formation could underpin symptoms associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.
