Claim 1behavioral rescuesupports2017Source 1DOIPubMed

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)
Claim 2causal interpretationsupports2017Source 1DOIPubMed

Indirect striatal pathway disruption might play a causative role in repetitive behavior in the Shank3B mutant mouse model.

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.
