Brain mGluR5 in Shank3B−/− Mice Studied With in vivo [18F]FPEB PET Imaging and ex vivo Immunoblotting

Although several studies have found that metabotropic glutamate 5 receptor (mGluR5) may play an important role in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we used a Shank3 gene complete knockout mouse model (Shank3B−/−) to explore the change in mGluR5 in the brain. To as...
