      Research centered around using mouse models to elucidate neural mechanisms underlying impairments in inhibitory brain circuits in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1). DM1 is a neuromuscular, neurodegenerative, and multisystemic disease with many of its central nervous system symptoms, such as emergence and recovery from anesthesia and hypersomnia under-researched. Researched examined how sequestration of Muscle blind like protein 2 (MBNL2) RNA-binding protein alters the expression of specific inhibitory receptors, which may play a role in delayed emergence and recovery from anesthesia in DM1.
