δ-catenin haploinsufficiency is sufficient to alter behaviors and glutamatergic synapses in mice At PSD, the N-cadherin-δ-catenin-ABP/GRIP complex functions as an anchor for GluA2. Heterozygous δ-catenin KO and G34S mice show impairments in social behavior and fear learning and memory. Only KO ha...

Rescuing Neurodevelopmental Deficits in AMPA Receptor Gain-of-Function Mutant AMPA receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission and are essential for neuronal development and brain function. We investigated the role of a recurrent variant in the AMPAR GluA1 ...

We just posted our new paper, “Rescuing Neurodevelopmental Deficits in AMPA Receptor Gain-of-Function Mutant”. In this paper, we, in collaboration with Shu-Ling Chiu's lab, generated a mouse model of a rare missense mutation in the AMPA receptor GluA1 subunit.
