The paper studies calcium signaling in human-specific interlaminar astrocytes in a chimeric mouse model of Fragile X Syndrome, finding hyperexcitable signaling and increased dendritic spine turnover.

This study shows that reducing FMRP in astrocytes contributes to auditory hypersensitivity and spontaneous seizures in a mouse model of FXS, but not tactile hypersensitivity.
