Developmental Regulation of Basket Interneuron Synapses and Behavior through NCAM in Mouse Prefrontal Cortex.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Parvalbumin (PV)-expressing basket interneurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) regulate pyramidal cell firing, synchrony, and network oscillations. Yet, it is unclear how their perisomatic inputs to pyramidal neurons are integrated into neural circuitry and adjusted postnatally. Neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM is expressed in a variety of cells in the PFC and cooperates with EphrinA/EphAs to regulate inhibitory synapse density. Here, analysis of a novel parvalbumin (PV)-Cre: NCAM F/F mouse mutant revealed that NCAM functions presynaptically in PV+ basket interneurons to regulate postnatal elimination of perisomatic synapses. Mutant mice exhibited an increased density of PV+ perisomatic puncta in PFC layer 2/3, while live imaging in mutant brain slices revealed fewer puncta that were dynamically eliminated. Furthermore, EphrinA5-induced growth cone collapse in PV+ interneurons in culture depended on NCAM expression. Electrophysiological recording from layer 2/3 pyramidal cells in mutant PFC slices showed a slower rise time of inhibitory synaptic currents. PV-Cre: NCAM F/F mice exhibited impairments in working memory and social behavior that may be impacted by altered PFC circuitry. These findings suggest that the density of perisomatic synapses of PV+ basket interneurons is regulated postnatally by NCAM, likely through EphrinA-dependent elimination, which is important for appropriate PFC network function and behavior.
