Syngap1 promotes cognitive function through regulation of cortical sensorimotor dynamics by Thomas Vaissiere, Sheldon D. Michaelson, Thomas Creson, Jessie Goins, Daniel Fürth, Diana Balazsfi, Camilo Rojas, Randall Golovin, Konstantinos Meletis, Courtney A. Miller, Daniel O’Connor, Lorenzo Fontolan, Gavin Rumbaugh

“…Our data support a model where autonomous Syngap1 expression in cortical excitatory neurons promotes cognitive abilities through the assembly of long-range circuits that integrate temporally-overlapping sensory and motor signals, a process that promotes perception and attention. These data provide systems-level insights into the robust association between Syngap1 expression and cognitive ability.…”
