Extensive characterization of a Williams Syndrome murine model shows Gtf2ird1-mediated rescue of select sensorimotor tasks, but no effect on enhanced social behavior

J. D. Dougherty, K. R. Nygaard, S. E. Maloney, R. G. Swift, K. B. McCullough, R. E. Wagner, S. B. Fass, K. Garbett, K. Mirnics, J. Veenstra-VanderWeele

This study characterizes a Williams Syndrome mouse model, showing Gtf2ird1 overexpression rescues some sensorimotor tasks but not social behavior.

Oxytocin receptor activation does not mediate associative fear deficits in a Williams Syndrome model

K. R. Nygaard, R. G. Swift, R. M. Glick, R. E. Wagner, S. E. Maloney, G. G. Gould, J. D. Dougherty

This study investigates whether oxytocin receptor dysregulation contributes to fear memory deficits in a Williams Syndrome mouse model, finding no rescue of fear responses with an oxytocin receptor antagonist.

Erroneous inference based on a lack of preference within one group: autism, mice, and the Social Approach Task.

K. R. Nygaard, S. E. Maloney, J. D. Dougherty

The paper identifies and addresses erroneous statistical practices in analyzing Social Approach Task data from autism mouse models, showing how incorrect methods increase false positives and proposing a solution.
