This study shows that Cntnap2 deletion in mice disrupts vestibular signaling and spatial cognition, linking peripheral sensory dysfunction to ASD-related behaviors.

This study shows that striatal output during early postnatal development affects the activity and maturation of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex circuits in mice.

The paper finds a lateralized decrease in parvalbumin+ basket cells in the dominant hemisphere of ASD mouse models, correlated with tactile hypersensitivity in the dominant hind paw.

The paper shows astrocytic networks integrate and drive neural activity by influencing inhibitory interneuron firing through calcium signaling and molecular mechanisms.
