#Autism is often associated with an excess of synapses:
but how does this trait affect large-scale circuit function?
Here's what we found by modelling autism-related pruning deficits across-species🧠🐭

Seminal work form the #Sulzer_Lab @Columbia has shown that postmortem synaptic surplus in #Autism is associated with hyperactive mTOR signalling
