Enhancing striatopallidal medium spiny neuron activity with hM3Dq DREADD rescued repetitive grooming behavior in Shank3B mutant mice.

Quoted textsource-backed
the repetitive grooming behavior was rescued by selectively enhancing the striatopallidal MSN activity via a Gq-coupled human M3 muscarinic receptor (hM3Dq)

Striatopallidal medium spiny neurons in Shank3B mutant mice show defects in synaptic transmission, synaptic plasticity, and spine density.

Quoted textsource-backed
Striatopallidal MSNs showed profound defects, including alterations in synaptic transmission, synaptic plasticity, and spine density.
