Abstract excerpt
The etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is a complex combination of genetic and environmental factors. Neuroligin3, a synaptic adhesion protein, and cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 1 (CYFIP1), a regulator of protein translation and actin polymerization, are two proteins associated with ASDs that interact in neurons in vivo Here, we investigated the role of the Neuroligin3/CYFIP1 pathway in...
