Altered mGluR5-Homer scaffolds and corticostriatal connectivity in a Shank3 complete knockout model of autism

SHANK3 mutations have been linked to autism spectrum disorders, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the authors generate a complete knockout Shank3 mouse model, identifying ASD-like behaviours associated with impaired mGluR5-Homer scaffolding and abnormal brain connectivity.
