Noisy brain may underlie some of autism’s sensory features By Holly Barker thetransmitter.org/spectrum/…

Noisy brain may underlie some of autism’s sensory features

Random fluctuations in neuronal activity are more variable in a fragile X mouse model than in wildtype mice.

Interested in exploring neocortical alterations underlying atypical sensory experience in autism (doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-4…)? We are hiring a postdoc or research assistant with experience in whole-cell recordings for a project funded by the Simons Foundation. Please get in touch.

Why are sensory responses so variable in autism? We explored this question in our new paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-4… just published in @NatureComms @NCMagendie @Neuro_Bordeaux

We discovered at the neocortical neuronal level that a fluctuating endogenous noise level strongly correlates with the response outcome in an autism mouse model. What are the sources of this noise? Check out our work.

So excited to be in DC for #SfN23! 🥳 I'll be discussing #sensory perception alterations in #autism at the TPDA poster session today (18:30-20:30) and at Monday morning's poster session on Tactile Processing, poster 211.15, board CC16. Don't hesitate to pass by! @SfNtweets

I have written a protocol detailing all of my accumulated tricks for in vivo patching in behaving mice. I hope it will be of use to others starting to use this technique! Thanks of course to the plentiful advice from numerous people over the years. star-protocols.cell.com/prot…
