Aim 1: Investigate the ASD related symptoms caused by CTNNB1 deletion from PV neurons Our preliminary data demonstrated that Ctnnb1 KO in PV neurons may cause deficits mimicking some core symptoms in ASD patients. Since repetitive behavior is another core symptom in ASD patients, we will further test the repetitive behaviors using grooming test, marble bury, and nesting building. Moreover, many autism patients show learning disabilities. To measure learning and memory in our mouse model, we will…
