Episode 6: The Inner Workings of MCHS with Dr. Christopher Cowan

In today’s episode of the MEF2Cast, we interviewed Dr. Christopher Cowan, a neuroscientist studying neurodevelopmental conditions like MCHS. Dr Cowan joins us to discuss the role of MEF2C in the brain and its development and how that manifests in MCHS. Dr Cowan shares some insight on the relationship between autism and MCHS. We also discuss target site blockers (TSBs), a potential treatment for MCHS being studied in Dr. Cowan’s lab. Finally, we talk about the future of treatment and how the community can support the efforts of researchers like Dr. Cowan.
