Corroborating these observations, a large body of evidence indicates a deleterious influence of aberrant mTOR signaling upon cognition in rodent models of neurodevelopmental disorders (Ehninger et al, 2008; Sharma et al, 2010; Ricciardi et al, 2011; Meffre et al, 2012; Troca‐Marin et al, 2012; Huber et al, 2015), indicating that the deregulation of mTOR signaling in specific brain areas at critical developmental periods can compromise cognition later in life. The gene discussed is MTOR; the disease is neurodevelopmental disorder.
