Abstract:Pathogenic mutations inGRIN2Bare an important cause of severe neurodevelopmental disorders resulting in epilepsy, autism and intellectual disability.GRIN2Bencodes the GluN2B subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), which are ionotropic glutamate receptors critical for normal development of the nervous system and synaptic plasticity. Here, we characterized a novelGRIN2Bheterozygous knockout rat model with 24-hour EEG recordings. We found rats heterozygous for the deletion (Grin2b+/-) had a higher inc… Show more
