The canonical Wnt signaling pathway plays a key role in neurodevelopment and in maintaining cellular homeostasis of the central nervous system in adulthood. It regulates essential processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and synaptogenesis. In vivo and genetic evidence suggests an association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and abnormalities in the Wnt pathway. Prior research from our group indicated heightened basal Wnt activity in neural stem cells (NSCs)…
