Article Synopsis
- Duplication of chromosome 15q11-13 is linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and was studied in a mouse model known as 15q dup mice.
- The study involved behavioral tests for anxiety and social interactions, alongside MRI scans, to explore the connection between brain structure and behavior in these mice.
- Findings showed that 15q dup mice exhibited higher anxiety levels and varied social behaviors, with a correlation found between lower sociability and reduced gray matter in a specific brain region, highlighting the complexities of ASD's behavioral diversity.
