Early-life Oxytocin Rescues Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity and Episodic Memory in a Mouse Model of Fragile X Syndrome

2024-12-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cognitive disabilities including impairments to episodic memory are debilitating features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here we report that early-life treatment with oxytocin (OXT) fully restores episodic memory and associated synaptic plasticity in a rodent model of an ASD.
