Learning and reaction times in mouse touchscreen tests are differentially impacted by mutations in genes encoding postsynaptic interacting proteins SYNGAP1, NLGN3, DLGAP1, DLGAP2 and SHANK2
Open accessAbstract
The postsynaptic terminal of vertebrate excitatory synapses contains a highly conserved multiprotein complex that comprises neurotransmitter receptors, cell‐adhesion molecules, scaffold proteins and enzymes, which are essential for brain signalling and plasticity underlying behaviour. Increasingly, mutations in genes that encode postsynaptic proteins belonging to the PSD‐95 protein complex, continue to be identified in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability and epilepsy. These disorders are highly heterogeneous, sharing genetic aetiology and comorbid cognitive and behavioural symptoms. Here, by using genetically engineered mice and innovative touchscreen‐based cognitive testing, we sought to investigate whether loss‐of‐function mutations in genes encoding key interactors of the PSD‐95 protein complex display shared phenotypes in associative learning, updating of learned associations and reaction times. Our genetic dissection of mice with loss‐of‐function mutations in Syngap1, Nlgn3, Dlgap1, Dlgap2 and Shank2 showed that distinct components of the PSD‐95 protein complex differentially regulate learning, cognitive flexibility and reaction times in cognitive processing. These data provide insights for understanding how human mutations in these genes lead to the manifestation of diverse and complex phenotypes in NDDs.

PSD95 is a critical postsynaptic protein, involved in the plasticity and stabilization of the synapse.
“PSD95 is a critical postsynaptic protein, involved in the plasticity and stabilization of the synapse. 37”
From The MR1/MAIT cell axis enhances dystrophic neurite development in Alzheimer's disease (2025) · cites this paper as [37]
The Introduction describes PSD-95 as a central organiser of postsynaptic protein complexes involved in synaptic plasticity, supporting its critical postsynaptic role. It says PSD-95 anchors a receptor at the membrane, but does not establish that it stabilizes the synapse itself; that part of the claim is unsupported. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn mice lacking various scaffolding or GTPase-activating proteins associated with neurodegenerative disorders, it has been suggested that cognitive performance is worsened with lower PSD95 levels.
“In line with this idea, in mice lacking various scaffolding or GTPase‐activating proteins that are associated with neurodegenerative disorders, it has been suggested that cognitive performance is worsened with lower PSD95 levels. 37”
From The MR1/MAIT cell axis enhances dystrophic neurite development in Alzheimer's disease (2025) · cites this paper as [37]
The Introduction (page unavailable) identifies scaffold proteins and SynGAP as PSD-95 interactors and reports impaired learning in mice completely lacking PSD-95. But it also reports enhanced performance with partial PSD-95 loss; the Discussion (page unavailable) finds normal learning in Dlgap1 mutants and faster learning in Dlgap2 mutants. The paper does not establish that lower PSD-95 levels generally worsen cognition in these mutants, and it associates the genes with neurodevelopmental, not neurodegenerative, disorders.

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.
