Deskripsi

Dysregulation of mTOR signaling has been implicated in autism spectrum disorders. Here authors show that hyperconnectivity and hyperactivity of the mPFC–BLA circuitry inPten+/−mice underlies their social impairments, and that reducing mTORC1 signaling during early postnatal development rescues these deficits.
