Early D-Aspartate Deficiency Alters Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity in Juvenile Mice
A recent study shows that embryonic depletion of D-Aspartate in mice leads to enhanced NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity in the juvenile hippocampus, highlighting its role in brain development.
Study Finds Altered Striatal Synaptic Plasticity in Autism Model Mice Overexpressing eIF4E
A recent study reveals that mice overexpressing the autism risk gene eIF4E show altered synaptic plasticity in the striatum, potentially contributing to ASD-related behaviors.
