Abstract:Perturbations in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk genes disrupt neural circuit dynamics and ultimately lead to behavioral abnormalities. To understand how ASD-implicated genes influence network computation during behavior, we performed in vivo calcium imaging from hundreds of individual hippocampal CA1 neurons simultaneously in freely locomoting mice with total knockout of NEXMIF. NEXMIF is an ASD risk gene most highly expressed in the hippocampus, and NEXMIF knockout in mice creates a range of behavioral d… Show more
