Excitatory synapses are stronger in the hippocampus of Rett syndrome mice due to altered synaptic trafficking of AMPA-type glutamate receptors
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Rett syndrome is the most common intellectual disability in women after Down syndrome (1:10,000 incidence). Different mouse models of intellectual disability and autism exhibit deficits in synaptic plasticity, including impaired long-term potentiation (LTP) in mice lacking methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2); however, the bases of this deficit remain unclear. Using a combination of electrophysiology, time-lapse imaging, cell biology, and biochemistry, we provide direct evidence that naïve hippocampal synapses in Rett mice have all the hallmarks of potentiated synapses. Rett synapses also fail to insert and remove AMPA receptors properly to activated synapses, which freezes them in a nonplastic state. Our findings provide molecular, cellular, and network mechanisms underlying enhanced excitatory synaptic transmission and impaired LTP in Rett mice, identifying previously unidentified molecular targets for therapeutic intervention.

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.
