ErbB inhibition rescues nigral dopamine neuron hyperactivity and repetitive behaviors in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome
2024-02-23
Abstract excerpt
Repetitive behaviors are core symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and fragile X syndrome (FXS), the prevalent genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism. The nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) circuit rules movement and habit formation; therefore, its dysregulation stands as a leading substrate for repetitive behaviors. However, beyond indirect evidence, specific assessment of nigral DA neuron activity i...
