TL;DR: Evidence is provided that primary hippocampal neurons from a mouse model of 22q11.2 deletion have decreased density of dendritic spines and glutamatergic synapses, as well as impaired dendedritic growth, and evidence that PSD95 is one of the substrates of ZDHHC8.

Genetic Modulation of BDNF Signaling Affects the Outcome of Axonal Competition In Vivo
Luxiang Cao,Alefiya Dhilla,Jun Mukai,Richard Blazeski,Claudia Lodovichi,Carol A. Mason,Joseph A. Gogos +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a decrease either in the total levels or the levels of activity-dependent secreted BDNF (due to a val66met substitution), rescues silent arbors from withering, and this effect may be mediated, at least in part, by p75(NTR.
