The previously reported relation between iron deficiency and movement disorders was studied in a population with a high prevalence of both problems. There was no evidence of a direct statistical relation between iron deficiency and movement disorders. Significant associations were, however, found between movement disorders and features of the acute phase response to physiological stress. Indice...

In this review, we focus on CA3 neuronal migration disorders in the rodent. We begin by introducing the main steps of hippocampal development, and we summarize characteristic hippocampal malformations in human. We then describe various mouse mutants showing structural hippocampal defects. Notably, genes identified in human cortical neuronal migration disorders consistently give rise to a CA3 ph...
