Heterozygous mutation of Ambra1, known as a positive autophagy regulator, produces autismlike behavior in mice and autistic phenotypes in humans in a female-specific manner. However, the substantial roles of the Ambra1 mutation in neurons are still unknown. We find that Ambra1 heterozygotes display a moderate decrease in excitatory synaptic release in-vitro and ex-vivo exclusively in females without autophagy activity, resulting in significant alterations in {gamma}-oscillation power and seizure susceptibility by excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) imbalance. Specifically, Ambra1 deficiency has no effect on neurogenesis and morphogenesis, but selectively decreases excitatory synaptic activity without changes in synapse number, quantal size, synaptic release probability, and synaptic plasticity. Therefore, the limited excitatory synaptopathy by Ambra1 expression levels ultimately determines E/I imbalance in global neural networks leading to the female-specific ASD.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
