Erratum: ‘Corrigenda to “Suppression of brain cholesterol synthesis in male Mecp2-deficient mice is age dependent and not accompanied by a concurrent change in the rate of fatty acid synthesis” [Brain Res. 1654 (2017) 77–84] (S0006899316307247)(10.1016/j.brainres.2016.10.021)

The two corrections that are needed are both contained in the very early part in Section 2.1. 1) For this section, the word ‘weight’ is missing at the end of the subtitle. The correct text is ‘Mecp2^−/y mice exhibited prototypical shortened lifespan and reduced brain weight’.2) The first sentence in 2.1 should read as follows ‘As shown in Fig. 1A, the lifespan of the Mecp2^−/y mice ranged from 49 to 91 days (n = 19), with the median survival time being 61 days.’The authors would like to apologise for any confusion caused by these oversights.
