Additionally, we assessed the impact of NRG3 overexposure during early neonatal development (as a peripheral exposure model of NRG3 overexpression in schizophrenia [13]) on a series of adult behaviors relevant to neurocognitive and neurodevelopmental disorders; testing the hypothesis that mice exposed to NRG3 during a critical neurodevelopmental window would show behavioral abnormalities later in life. The gene discussed is NRG3; the disease is neurodevelopmental disorder.
