Bridging the Gap Between Environmental Adversity and Neuropsychiatric Disorders: The Role of Transposable Elements

Long regarded as “junk DNA,” transposable elements (TEs) have recently garnered much attention for their role in promoting genetic diversity and plasticity. While many processes involved in mammalian development require TE activity, deleterious TE insertions are a hallmark of several psychiatric dis...
