Findings in the Area of Autism Reported from Scripps Research Institute (Syngapl Regulates Experience-dependent Cortical Ensemble Plasticity By Promoting In Vivo Excitatory Synapse Strengthening)

摘要

2021 SEP 23 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - A new study on Developmental Diseases and Conditions - Autism is now available. According to news originating from Jupiter, Florida, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "A significant proportion of autism risk genes regulate synapse function, including plasticity, which is believed to contribute to behavioral abnormalities. However, it remains unclear how impaired synapse plasticity contributes to network-level processes linked to adaptive behaviors, such as experience-dependent ensemble plasticity." Financial supporters for this research include NIH grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders & Stroke (NINDS), SynGAP Research Fund.
