INVESTIGATING THE CAUSAL LINK BETWEEN ARGININE-VASOPRESSINAND OXYTOCIN
DYSREGULATION, AND AUTISM-LIKE SYMPTOMS: ANATOMICAL AND FUNCTIONAL APPROACHES
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 will be 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)
