Finally, the current study may also provide clues regarding the roles of other cell adhesion molecules (e.g., CHL1, Buhusi et al., 2017b), or other molecules involved in neurodevelopment (e.g., GDNF, Buhusi et al., 2017a; or BDNF, Buhusi et al., 2023) in impairments of selective attention related to neurodevelopmental disorders. This evidence concerns the gene CHL1 and neurodevelopmental disorder.
