Here we present the SocioBox, a new behavioral paradigm to measure social recognition. Using this paradigm, we show that male wildtype mice of different strains can readily identify an unfamiliar mouse among 5 newly acquainted animals. In contrast, female mice exhibit lower locomotor activity during social exploration in the SocioBox compared to males and do not seem to discriminate between acquainted and unfamiliar mice, likely reflecting inherent differences in gender-specific territorial tasks. In addition to a simple quantification of social interaction time of mice grounded on predefined spatial zones (zone-based method), we developed a set of unbiased, data-driven analysis tools based on heat map representations and characterized by greater sensitivity. First proof-of-principle that the SocioBox allows diagnosis of social recognition deficits is provided using male PSD-95 heterozygous knockout mice, a mouse model related to psychiatric pathophysiology."],["dc.format.extent","12"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fnbeh.2016.00151"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150541"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13681"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7314"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","The SocioBox: a novel paradigm to assess complex social recognition in male mice"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI2013Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","41"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Behavioural Brain Research"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","49"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","251"],["dc.contributor.author","El-Kordi, Ahmed"],["dc.contributor.author","Winkler, Daniela"],["dc.contributor.author","Hammerschmidt, Kurt"],["dc.contributor.author","Kästner, Anne"],["dc.contributor.author","Krueger, Dilja"],["dc.contributor.author","Ronnenberg, Anja"],["dc.contributor.author","Ritter, Caroline"],["dc.contributor.author","Jatho, Jasmin"],["dc.contributor.author","Radyushkin, Konstantin"],["dc.contributor.author","Bourgeron, Thomas"],["dc.contributor.author","Fischer, Julia"],["dc.contributor.author","Brose, Nils"],["dc.contributor.author","Ehrenreich, Hannelore"],["dc.date.accessioned","2017-09-07T11:47:38Z"],["dc.date.available","2017-09-07T11:47:38Z"],["dc.date.issued","2013"],["dc.description.abstract","Autism is the short name of a complex and heterogeneous group of disorders (autism spectrum disorders, ASD) with several lead symptoms required for classification, including compromised social interaction, reduced verbal communication and stereotyped repetitive behaviors/restricted interests. The etiology of ASD is still unknown in most cases but monogenic heritable forms exist that have provided insights into ASD pathogenesis and have led to the notion of autism as a 'synapse disorder'. Among the most frequent monogenic causes of autism are loss-of-function mutations of the NLGN4X gene which encodes the synaptic cell adhesion protein neuroligin-4X (NLGN4X). We previously described autism-like behaviors in male Nlgn4 null mutant mice, including reduced social interaction and ultrasonic communication. Here, we extend the phenotypical characterization of Nlgn4 null mutant mice to both genders and add a series of additional autism-relevant behavioral readouts. We now report similar social interaction and ultrasonic communication deficits in females as in males. Furthermore, aggression, nest-building parameters, as well as self-grooming and circling as indicators of repetitive behaviors/stereotypies were explored in both genders. The construction of a gender-specific autism severity composite score for Nlgn4 mutant mice markedly diminishes population/sample heterogeneity typically obtained for single tests, resulting in p values of <0.00001 and a genotype predictability of 100% for male and of >83% for female mice. Taken together, these data underscore the similarity of phenotypical consequences of Nlgn4/NLGN4X loss-of-function in mouse and man, and emphasize the high relevance of Nlgn4 null mutant mice as an ASD model with both construct and face validity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.bbr.2012.11.016"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142307"],["dc.identifier.isi","000322927700006"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23183221"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6831"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","0166-4328"],["dc.subject","Social interaction; Nest building; Grooming; Repetitive behaviors; Stereotypies; Ultra-sound vocalization; Gender differences; ASD"],["dc.title","Development of an autism severity score for mice using Nlgn4 null mutants as a construct-valid model of heritable monogenic autism"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2017Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","1"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Cerebral Cortex"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","14"],["dc.contributor.author","Unichenko, Petr"],["dc.contributor.author","Yang, Jenq-Wei"],["dc.contributor.author","Kirischuk, Sergei"],["dc.contributor.author","Kolbaev, Sergei"],["dc.contributor.author","Kilb, Werner"],["dc.contributor.author","Hammer, Matthieu"],["dc.contributor.author","Krueger-Burg, Dilja"],["dc.contributor.author","Brose, Nils"],["dc.contributor.author","Luhmann, Heiko J."],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-03-08T09:21:32Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-03-08T09:21:32Z"],["dc.date.issued","2017"],["dc.description.abstract","Neuroligin-4 (Nlgn4) is a cell adhesion protein that regulates synapse organization and function. Mutations in human NLGN4 are among the causes of autism spectrum disorders. In mouse, Nlgn4 knockout (KO) perturbs GABAergic synaptic transmission and oscillatory activity in hippocampus, and causes social interaction deficits. The complex profile of cellular and circuit changes that are caused by Nlgn4-KO is still only partly understood. Using Nlgn4-KO mice, we found that Nlgn4-KO increases the power in the alpha frequency band of spontaneous network activity in the barrel cortex under urethane anesthesia in vivo. Nlgn4-KO did not affect single-whisker-induced local field potentials, but suppressed the late evoked multiunit activity in vivo. Although Nlgn4-KO did not affect evoked EPSCs in layer 4 (L4) spiny stellate cells in acute thalamocortical slices elicited by electrical stimulation of thalamocortical inputs, it caused a lower frequency of both miniature (m) IPSCs and mEPSCs, and a decrease in the number of readily releasable vesicles at GABAergic and glutamatergic connections, weakening both excitatory and inhibitory transmission. However, Nlgn4 deficit strongly suppresses glutamatergic activity, shifting the excitation–inhibition balance to inhibition.

It is unknown, however, whether normal variants (independent of mutations) in the fragile X gene family (FMR1, FXR1, FXR2) and in FMR2 modulate autistic features. Here, we report an accumulation model of 8 SNPs in these genes, associated with autistic traits in a discovery sample of male patients with schizophrenia (N = 692) and three independent replicate samples: patients with schizophrenia (N = 626), patients with other psychiatric diagnoses (N = 111) and a general population sample (N = 2005). For first mechanistic insight, we contrasted microRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of selected extreme group subjects with high-versus low-risk constellation regarding the accumulation model.
