RTT: Systemic Developmental Disruption

Generated from prompt:

Create a publicly accessible PowerPoint presentation titled 'RTT as a Systemic Disorder of Developmental Program Disruption', in English scientific style and a deep, visual tech theme (dark background with abstract neural network visuals). Slide 1: Cover Page - Title: RTT as a Systemic Disorder of Developmental Program Disruption - Subtitle: From Gene-Level Abnormalities to Developmental Program Failure - Author: (Leave blank) - Date: Auto-generated - Design: Dark background with neural network abstract visuals, light text, neon blue/purple highlights. Slide 2: RTT as a Systemic Disorder of Developmental Program Disruption - Key Sentence: RTT is not a single molecular defect, but a progressive imbalance of functional neural networks during development. - Page content: Rett Syndrome (neurodevelopmental disorder); Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) as a key functional area; Concept of developmental windows (early → mid → mature). - No methods or data figures. - Speaker Notes: RTT symptoms indicate failure of system-level maturation, not a broken pathway. Neurodevelopment is time-ordered. Disruption during key windows causes lasting imbalance. The question is not whether abnormalities exist, but when and how they are encoded into the brain. - Duration: ≈1.5 min. Slide 3: Reconstructing RTT Developmental Disruption via Single-Cell Modules - Key Sentence: Using single-cell omics, we elevate RTT abnormalities from the gene level to the developmental program level. - Page content: PFC single-nucleus transcriptome (multiple developmental stages); Stable developmental units (SEACells/meta-nuclei); Coordinated transcriptional modules; Abstract diagram (developmental timeline + module dynamics, no real data). - Speaker Notes: Single-cell data are complex; direct gene comparisons miss the developmental context. We focus on transcriptional programs co-varying during maturation. These modules act as biological subroutines driving functional maturation. In RTT, some programs deviate early; others lose coordination later — a dynamic accumulation of developmental disruption. - Duration: ≈2 min. Slide 4: From Developmental Modules to Circuits and Brain-Machine Integration - Key Sentence: Module disorganization manifests as circuit dysfunction; these modules themselves are potential regulatory targets. - Page content: Module ↔ cell type (excitatory/inhibitory/glial); Circuit maturation / E–I balance; Quantifiable state variables → intelligent regulation; Hierarchical diagram: module → cell → circuit → intervention. - Speaker Notes: Modules bridge molecular and circuit levels — potential entry points for therapeutic modulation and neural engineering. Ensure it is a deep, visual, tech-style design, publicly accessible, and downloadable as PPTX and PDF.

Slide 1 - RTT as a Systemic Disorder of Developmental Program Disruption

The slide presents Rett Syndrome (RTT) as a systemic disorder caused by disruption of developmental programs. Its subtitle elaborates on this progression from gene-level abnormalities to overall developmental program failure.

Slide 2 - RTT as a Systemic Disorder of Developmental Program Disruption

Rett Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a progressive imbalance in neural network development, with the Prefrontal Cortex as a key functional area. It involves distinct developmental windows from early to mid to mature stages.

RTT as a Systemic Disorder of Developmental Program Disruption

  • Rett Syndrome: neurodevelopmental disorder
  • Progressive imbalance of neural networks in development
  • Prefrontal Cortex (PFC): key functional area
  • Developmental windows: early → mid → mature

Speaker Notes
RTT symptoms indicate failure of system-level maturation, not a broken pathway. Neurodevelopment is time-ordered. Disruption during key windows causes lasting imbalance. The question is not whether abnormalities exist, but when and how they are encoded into the brain.

Slide 3 - Reconstructing RTT Developmental Disruption via Single-Cell Modules

PFC single-nucleus RNA-seq analysis of the prefrontal cortex across developmental stages uses SEACells to identify cell states and coordinated transcriptional modules as core neurodevelopmental programs. The developmental timeline diagram tracks module activation, revealing early disruptions in RTT versus controls that amplify into later systemic imbalances.

Reveals coordinated transcriptional modules as core units of neurodevelopmental programs.Abstract diagram: Time-ordered developmental trajectory. Tracks module activation, deviation in RTT vs control. Shows early disruptions amplifying into later imbalances — elevating analysis from genes to systemic program failure.

Slide 4 - From Developmental Modules to Circuits and Brain-Machine Integration

The workflow outlines a progression from identifying developmental transcriptional modules (using SEACells) to mapping them onto excitatory, inhibitory, and glial cell types, revealing stable maturation programs and their associations. It then advances to circuit integration analyzing E-I balance and network dysfunction, culminating in intervention design with quantifiable state variables for targeted regulations.
