Single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis accurately predicts multiple impairments in hippocampal activity and memory performance in a murine model of idiopathic autism by Isabel Barón-Mendoza, Luis A. Márquez, Aliesha González Arenas, Jessica Guzmán-Condado, Vladimir A. Martínez-Rojas, Johaly Anguiano-Buenfil, Montserrat Mejía-Hernández, Jorge Luis Almazán, Leonor Pérez-Martínez, Gustavo Pedraza-Alva, Emilio J. Galván, Angélica Zepeda

“…Through in silico analysis, we found that the C58/J strain carries single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) compared to the C57BL/6J control strain related to synaptic structure and LTP induction. These SNPs have human orthologs previously associated with ASD. We then assessed chemical potentiation (cLTP) in synaptosomes, the electrophysiological properties of hippocampal CA3 cells, and the induction of LTP in ex-vivo slices. …”
