Research topics
Investigating the Oxytocinergic & Vasopressinergic systems in regards to Autistic features in CDKL5 mouse model
My hypothesis for this PhD project is that OT and AVP imbalance is responsible for the social
deficits and autistic symptoms, and is potentially contributing to their sexually dimorphic
manifestation. This is currently being tested in a multilayered study that consists of mapping the AVP and OT
hypothalamic systems in ASD mice models in the context of:
1) Characterizing OT and AVP systems in CDKL5 KO vs WT mice brains
2) Given the fact that most studies include exclusively male mice, our aim is to compare these
networks in both sexes in order to decipher the sexual dimorphism in ASD
3) In different developmental stages to tackle the critical developmental phases of these
networks where future interventions and/or early diagnosis could take place ( Madrigal and
Jurado, 2021)
This is being realised using 2D and 3D immunohistochemistry techniques on mice brains and will be followed by a behavioral study.
