Striatal Interneuron Imbalance and Sensory Processing in a Rodent Autism Model

We’re excited to see research utilizing NeuroNexus technologies at the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí! In the study titled “Striatal Interneuron Imbalance in a Valproic Acid-Induced Model of Autism in Rodents Is Accompanied by Atypical Somatosensory Processing”, researchers used a 64 channel 8-shank Buzsaki design microelectrode array to record neural activity in the striatum and cortex of rodent models. The findings reveal how prenatal exposure to valproic acid disrupts striatal interneuron balance, leading to atypical sensory processing—shedding light on the neural mechanisms behind autism spectrum disorder.
