Abstract

Puberty Impairs Plasticity: While the existence of a period of reduced learning coinciding with the onset of puberty in mice is well characterized, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Shen et al. (p. 1515 ) assessed the role of specific γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A ) receptors for restricting hippocampal plasticity during puberty. At puberty, but not in adults or the very young, GABA receptors containing the α4 and δ subunits were targeted perisynaptically to excitatory synapses, shunting the depolarizing current necessary for N -methyl- d -aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation. As a consequence, signal transmission was affected and spatial learning reduced.

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.
