“…In contrast, these metrics are comparatively stable over several decades of adulthood (Colantuoni et al, 2011;Jaffe et al, 2018;Kang et al, 2011;Li et al, 2018;Pletikos et al, 2014). Disruptions of these developmentally dynamic regulatory processes are likely to be important contributors to multiple neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders (Birnbaum and Weinberger, 2017;Breen et al, 2016;Geschwind and Flint, 2015;McCarroll and Hyman, 2013;Rosti et al, 2014;Sestan and State, 2018;Turner and Eichler, 2018). In keeping with this expectation, analyses of spatiotemporal expression patterns have implicated mid-fetal brain development as a vulnerable process, and the prefrontal cortex as a vulnerable region, for both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) risk genes (Chang et al, 2015b;Gulsuner et al, 2013;Li et al, 2018; Network and Pathway Analysis Subgroup of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, 2015; Parikshak et al, 2013;Satterstrom et al, 2018;Willsey et al, 2013;Xu et al, 2014).…”
