Abstract:IgG antibodies that bind to the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR-Ab) can be detected in up to 1 % of healthy individuals. This suggests that a considerable subgroup of pregnant women is at risk of transferring NMDAR-antibodies to the fetus. We ask whether a transientin uteroexposure to human NMDAR-Ab can lead to neural network defects in adulthood. In mouse model of maternofetally transferred human NMDAR-Ab, at P51, corresponding to early adulthood in humans, we conducted two-photon calcium imaging in awa… Show more
