Individuals afflicted with certain types of autism spectrum disorder often exhibit impaired cognitive function alongside enhanced emotional symptoms and mood lability. However, current understanding of the pathogenesis of autism and intellectual disabilities is based primarily on studies in the hippocampus and cortex, brain areas involved in cognitive function. But, these disorders are also associated with strong emotional symptoms, which are likely to involve changes in the amygdala and other brain areas. In this talk I will highlight these issues by presenting analyses in rat models of ASD/ID lacking Nlgn3 and Frm1 (causing Fragile X Syndrome). In addition to identifying new circuit and cellular alterations underlying divergent patterns of fear expression, these findings also suggest novel therapeutic strategies.
