Brown was the first Ivy League school to accept students from all religious affiliations, a testament to the spirit of openness that still typifies Brown today. Originally located in Warren, Rhode Island, and called the College of Rhode Island, Brown moved to its current spot on College Hill overlooking Providence in 1770 and was renamed in 1804 in recognition of a $5,000 gift from Nicholas Brown, a prominent Providence businessman and alumnus, Class of 1786. Women were first admitted to Brown in 1891. The Women’s College was later renamed Pembroke College in Brown University before merging with Brown College, the men’s undergraduate school, in 1971. The northern section of campus where the women’s school was situated is known today as the Pembroke Campus. The first master’s degrees were granted in 1888 and the first doctorates in 1889. The first medical degrees of the modern era were presented in 1975 to a graduating class of 58 students. Today, Brown awards approximately 100 MD degrees annually from the Warren Alpert Medical School. Undergraduate education changed dramatically in 1970 with the introduction of what has become known as the Open Curriculum. The idea for this change came from a report written by undergraduates Ira Magaziner, of the undergraduate Class of 1969, and Elliot E. Maxwell, of the undergraduate Class of 1968, as part of a GISP (Group Independent Study Project) that examined education at Brown. The new curriculum eliminated core requirements

Standardized use of any ADOS-2 module presumes that the individual can walk independently and is free of visual or hearing impairments that could potentially interfere with use of the materials or participation in specific tasks.” Sample Psychiatric criteria from the DSM-5 [3] that does not include sensory-motor issues: A. Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as manifested by the following, currently or by history (examples are illustrative, not exhaustive, see text): 1. Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, ranging, for example, from abnormal social approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation; to reduced sharing of interests, emotions, or affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interactions. 2. Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction, ranging, for example, from poorly integrated verbal and nonverbal communication; to abnormalities in eye contact and body language or deficits in understanding and use of gestures; to a total lack of facial expressions and nonverbal communication.

    Sensory Deficits in a Mouse Model of Christianson Syndrome Tarheen

    Sensory Deficits in a Mouse Model of Christianson Syndrome Tarheen Fatima Department of Physiology McGill University, Montreal April 2019 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science. © Tarheen Fatima 2019 Abstract Christianson Syndrome (CS) is a recently characterized X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene slc9a6, encoding the endosomal Na+/H+ Exchanger 6 (NHE6). The disorder is associated with developmental delay, intellectual disability, loss of motor coordination, mutism, ataxia, epilepsy, as well as autistic features. In addition to these symptoms, CS patients exhibit elevated pain thresholds to noxious stimuli as well as discomfort at normally innocuous stimuli. The underlying causes of these sensory deficits are yet to be determined. Hence, this study aims at understanding how loss-of-function of NHE6 affects transmission and processing of pain. To this end, we examined the expression of NHE6 in peripheral and central neurons implicated in sensation and interpretation of pain. Additionally, we characterized the nociceptive behaviour of NHE6 knockout (KO) mice using a battery of behaviour tests. Our immunohistochemical experiments demonstrate that NHE6 is highly expressed in nociceptive, small-diameter dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Moreover, mice lacking NHE6 display decreased responses to noxious mechanical, thermal and chemical stimuli but are more responsive to noxious cold than wild-type littermates. Interestingly, immunohistochemical characterization of DRG tissue from aged NHE6 null mice indicates a decrease in some neuronal subsets suggesting cell death. Finally, using light brush-induced Fos activation in the dorsal horn, we found that the spinal processing of innocuous stimuli is not different between wildtype and NHE6 knockout mice.
  • What Is Christianson Syndrome? by Dr

    What Is Christianson Syndrome? by Dr

    What is Christianson Syndrome? By Dr. Eric Morrow Christianson syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects brain development. It is an “X-linked” disorder (see “Why is CS found only in boys?” section for a description of what X-linked means). Symptoms of CS usually appear in infancy and include epilepsy and intellectual disability. Although the exact prevalence of Christianson syndrome is unknown, a genetic study by Tarpey and colleagues identified Christianson Syndrome in 2 of about 200 families (about 1% of families with apparent X-linked developmental disabilities). This was among the most common genetic change in X-linked forms of intellectual disability. What are the causes of Christianson syndrome? Christianson syndrome is caused by changes in the gene, SLC9A6. Genes are important because they code for proteins, which carry out essential processes in the cells of our bodies. The SLC9A6 gene codes for the NHE6 protein. NHE6 is part of a family of proteins that are sodium (Na+)/hydrogen (H+) exchangers. The NHE6 protein is found in endosomes, which take up molecules to be destroyed or recycled for other processes in our body. NHE6 makes sure that these endosomes have the correct intra-endosomal acid level by letting in Na into the endosome and getting rid of hydrogen, which is the acid molecule. The acid level regulates protein turnover. My analogy our stomach acid, the acidity in endosomes helps degrade cellular proteins. These genetic changes in SLC9A6 cause the NHE6 protein to not work properly. You may have heard words such as “loss-of-function”, “truncation” or “frame- shift”, which describe how the NHE6 protein cannot be made in the cells to carry out these processes in the endosome.

Patients who have CS also show striking age- of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The earliest brain cytopathology in dependent neurodegeneration, with prominent glial pathology neurodegeneration, occurring decades before amyloid plaques and phosphorylated tau deposits (7). Female carriers have and cognitive decline, is an expansion in the size and number of learning difficulties and behavioral issues, and some present with endosomal compartments. The strongest genetic risk factor for low Mini-Mental State Examination scores suggestive of early sporadic AD is the e4 allele of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE4). Previous cognitive decline (10). Interestingly, NHE6 was among the most studies have shown that ApoE4 potentiates presymptomatic endo- highly down-regulated genes (up to sixfold) in the elderly (70 y) somal dysfunction and defective endocytic clearance of amyloid brain, compared with the adult (40 y) brain (11).

Here, we show that degenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a aberrant endosomal acidification in ApoE4 astrocytes traps the major cause of dementia in the elderly.

However, knowledge of Alkali cation/proton exchangers –SLC9A6/ the disease heterogeneity of CS is limited. Here, we describe the clinical features and underlying molecular and NHE6 cellular mechanisms associated with a CS patient carrying a de novo missense variant (p.Gly218Arg; G218R) of a Endosomal pH homeostasis conserved residue in its ion translocation domain that results in a potential gain-of-function. The patient Membrane trafficking Neurodegeneration manifested several core symptoms typical of CS, including pronounced cognitive impairment, mutism, epilepsy, ataxia and microcephaly; however, deterioration of motor function often observed after the first decade of life in CS children with total loss of SLC9A6/NHE6 function was not evident.
