For example\, a su bset of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibits temporary bu t considerable improvements in their behavioral symptoms during episodes o f fever\, a sign of systemic inflammation. However\, a mechanistic underst anding of how fever-associated immune responses translate into behavioral relief—both at the molecular and neural level—is lacking. We show that the social behavioral deficits in offspring exposed to maternal immune activa tion can be temporarily rescued by the inflammatory response elicited by t he administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This behavioral rescue was accompanied by a reduction in neural activity in the primary somatosensory cortex dysgranular zone (S1DZ)\, the hyperactivity of which has previousl y been implicated in the manifestation of behavioral phenotypes associated with offspring exposed to MIA. We also show that both the behavioral resc ue and the reduction in neural activity are mediated through the expressio n of IL-17 receptor subunit a (IL-17Ra) in the neurons of the S1DZ.\n\nThi s seminar will be given online via Zoom.
