One barriers to successful therapeutic intervention is wide spectrum phenotypic expression, ranging from visuospatial learning problems social perceptual deficits (autism). Leveraging numerous small-animal models 1, several promising targets have been identified treat learning, attention, autism phenotypes in this at-risk population. In review, we provide an up-to-date summary our current understanding these NF1, propose future research directions aimed at designing more effective approaches trials.
