Gabrb3 is required for the functional integration of pyramidal neuron subtypes in the somatosensory cortex
Open accessAbstract
Dysfunction of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic circuits is strongly associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. However, it is unclear how genetic predispositions impact circuit assembly. Using in vivo two-photon and widefield calcium imaging in developing mice, we show that Gabrb3, a gene strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Angelman syndrome (AS), is enriched in contralaterally projecting pyramidal neurons and is required for inhibitory function. We report that Gabrb3 ablation leads to a developmental decrease in GABAergic synapses, increased local network synchrony, and long-lasting enhancement in functional connectivity of contralateral-but not ipsilateral-pyramidal neuron subtypes. In addition, Gabrb3 deletion leads to increased cortical response to tactile stimulation at neonatal stages. Using human transcriptomics and neuroimaging datasets from ASD subjects, we show that the spatial distribution of GABRB3 expression correlates with atypical connectivity in these subjects. Our studies reveal a requirement for Gabrb3 during the emergence of interhemispheric circuits for sensory processing.

Altered function of GABRB2 and GABRB3 receptors disrupts functional integration of pyramidal neuron subtypes in cortical circuits and has been linked to an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in cortical and subcortical circuits, a widely proposed mechanism in ASD pathophysiology.
“Altered function of these receptors disrupts the functional integration of pyramidal neuron subtypes in cortical circuits (Babij et al., 2023) and has been linked to an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in cortical and subcortical circuits, a widely proposed mechanism in ASD pathophysiology (Babij et al., 2023; Coskunpinar et al., 2023).”

“…integration of pyramidal neuron subtypes in cortical circuits (Babij et al., 2023) and has been linked to an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in cortical and subcortical circuits, a widely proposed mechanism in ASD pathophysiology (Babij et al., 2023; Coskunpinar et al., 2023).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
