Numerous genetic variants associated with MEF2C are linked to autism, intellectual disability (ID) and schizophrenia (SCZ) - a heterogeneous collection of neurodevelopmental disorders with unclear pathophysiology. MEF2C is highly expressed in developing cortical excitatory neurons, but its role in their development remains unclear. We show here that conditional embryonic deletion of Mef2c in cortical and hippocampal excitatory neurons (Emx1-lineage) produces a dramatic reduction in cortical network activity in vivo, due in part to a dramatic increase in inhibitory and a decrease in excitatory synaptic transmission. In addition, we find that MEF2C regulates E/I synapse density predominantly as a cell-autonomous, transcriptional repressor. Analysis of differential gene expression in Mef2c mutant cortex identified a significant overlap with numerous synapse- and autism-linked genes, and the Mef2c mutant mice displayed numerous behaviors reminiscent of autism, ID and SCZ, suggesting that perturbing MEF2C function in neocortex can produce autistic- and ID-like behaviors in mice.

Freezing is represented in the data file in several different ways, including the total time the subject spends motionless during the session, the percent of time motionless, the number of freezing episodes or occurrences, or as an average index of motion.
View all literature mentionsSoftware designed to record and organize data. All experiments and subject data are entered into a database, with all subject data linked together allowing the software to track everything, and save it based on the assigned Subject ID. All standard data is displayed in real time along with a cumulative plot of the subject’s activity for all chambers. Users may choose the specific chamber size allowing for distance traveled to be measured in real units instead of beams broken. A rotational analysis option allows examination of large or small rotations, allowing for rotational measures to be obtained on staggering, ataxic, lesioned, or other loco-motor impaired mice or rats. Zonal analysis allows the user to change boundaries around the animal in post analysis. Up to eight systems can be connected to one computer.
