The paper shows that Scn2a loss-of-function in mice causes degraded sensory coding in the cortex, which is rescued by CRISPRa gene activation.

The paper constructs a single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of the mouse whisker somatosensory cortex during development and finds that sensory experience minimally affects cell type maturation in this region, unlike the visual cortex.

The paper shows that PV circuit homeostasis is impaired in two autism models, Tsc2+/- and Fmr1-/-, at both physiological and molecular levels.

This study shows that presynaptic FMRP and local protein synthesis regulate structural and functional plasticity in hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 synapses.

This study shows that CB1 receptor-mediated inhibitory LTD involves protein synthesis and ubiquitination to cause presynaptic structural changes that reduce GABA release.
