Learning Objectives for "Neural Mechanisms Underlying Autism Genetic Risks Mediated by MET Receptor Tyrosine Kinase":

In relation to the goal of ultimately improving patient care, participants will be able to:

  1. Comprehend how various genetic factors confer risk to autism spectrum disorders in the context of developmental neurobiology.
  2. Recognize how genetic risk factors, in particular MET receptor tyrosine kinase, affect neuronal morphogenesis, synapse development, functional maturation of neural circuits, and synaptic plasticity.

The objective of the Psychiatry Grand Rounds series is to provide mental health professionals with updates on a variety of psychiatric topics with the goals of increasing knowledge, competence, and patient care.
