| Research Abstract |
Compulsive-repetitive behaviors are common core symptom that are shared between autism spectrum disorders and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. The underlying pathogenic mechanisms of compulsive-repetitive behaviors are largely unknown. Here we show glutamate transporter conditional knockout mice exhibit compulsive-repetitive behaviors due to increased glutamate neural transmission. These findings demonstrate glutamatergic hyperactivity is important for pathogenesis of compulsive-repetitive behaviors.
