A failure to discriminate social from non-social touch at the circuit level may underlie social avoidance in autism

Trishala Chari, Ariana Hernandez, João Couto, Carlos Portera‐Cailliau

The paper investigates neural responses to social and non-social touch in mice, finding that autism model mice (Fmr1 KO) fail to distinguish social from non-social touch at the circuit level, potentially contributing to social avoidance.

A novel head-fixed assay for social touch in mice uncovers aversive responses in two autism models.

Trishala Chari, Ariana Hernandez, Carlos Portera‐Cailliau

The paper introduces a head-fixed social touch assay in mice to study aversive responses in autism models, finding increased avoidance and aversive facial expressions in ASD models compared to controls.
