Sensitive period for rescuing parvalbumin interneurons connectivity and social behavior deficits caused by TSC1 loss
Abstract
Regulators of mTORC1, such as Tsc1, are involved in neurodevelopmental disorders associated with autism, intellectual disabilities and epilepsy. The authors identify a role of mTORC1 signaling in the regulation and maintenance of cortical parvalbumin cell connectivity and social behaviour.
