White matter and neurodevelopmental disorders: honoring Jean De Vellis through the work of the NICHD-funded intellectual and developmental disabilities research centers

Authors: Heather Cody Hazlett, Vittorio Gallo

Published in: Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders | Issue 1/2019

Excerpt

Following in the footsteps of the first JND special issue in 2018, highlighting the work of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Centers (IDDRCs), this year again showcases the work of the IDDRCs and honors the distinguished career of Dr. Jean de Vellis, world-renowned scientist in the study of white matter pathophysiology and long-standing director of the UCLA IDDRC. As eloquently described in the dedication [1] accompanying this special section of the Journal, Jean de Vellis devoted his life’s work to examining glia biology and the importance of these neural cells in the brain. In this issue, we present cutting-edge, clinical and pre-clinical research and reviews by IDDRC investigators as a fitting tribute to the memory of our colleague. …
