Abstract excerpt
Almost all female and some male fragile X syndrome (FXS) patients are mosaic for expression of the FMR1 gene, yet all research in models of FXS has been in animals uniformly lacking Fmr1 expression. Therefore, we developed a system allowing neuronal genotype to be visualized in vitro in mouse brain slices mosaic for Fmr1 expression. Whole-cell recordings from individual pairs of presynaptic and postsynaptic...
