Model of autism: increased ratio of excitation/inhibition in key neural systems

John L.R. Rubenstein, Michael M. Merzenich · 1 Oct 2003

Autism is a severe neurobehavioral syndrome, arising largely as an inherited disorder, which can arise from several diseases. Despite recent advances in identifying some genes that can cause autism, its underlying neurological mechanisms are uncertain. Autism is best conceptualized by considering the neural systems that may be defective in autistic individuals. Recent advances in understanding…

Sociability and preference for social novelty in five inbred strains: an approach to assess autistic‐like behavior in mice

Sheryl S. Moy, Jessica J. Nadler, Antonio Pérez et al. · 29 Apr 2004

Deficits in social interaction are important early markers for autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders with strong genetic components. Standardized behavioral assays that measure the preference of mice for initiating social interactions with novel conspecifics would be of great value for mutant mouse models of autism. We developed a new procedure to assess sociability and the…

Autism‐like behavioral phenotypes in BTBR T+tf/J mice

Hewlet G. McFarlane, G. K. Kusek, Mu Yang et al. · 27 Apr 2007

Autism is a behaviorally defined neurodevelopmental disorder of unknown etiology. Mouse models with face validity to the core symptoms offer an experimental approach to test hypotheses about the causes of autism and translational tools to evaluate potential treatments. We discovered that the inbred mouse strain BTBR T+tf/J (BTBR) incorporates multiple behavioral phenotypes relevant to all…

Automated apparatus for quantitation of social approach behaviors in mice

Jessica J. Nadler, Sheryl S. Moy, Gemma. Dold et al. · 29 Apr 2004

Mouse models of social dysfunction, designed to investigate the complex genetics of social behaviors, require an objective methodology for scoring social interactions relevant to human disease symptoms. Here we describe an automated, three chambered apparatus designed to monitor social interaction in the mouse. Time spent in each chamber and the number of entries are scored…

Microbial genes, brain & behaviour – epigenetic regulation of the gut–brain axis

Roman M. Stilling, Timothy G. Dinan, John F. Cryan · 28 Nov 2013

To date, there is rapidly increasing evidence for host-microbe interaction at virtually all levels of complexity, ranging from direct cell-to-cell communication to extensive systemic signalling, and involving various organs and organ systems, including the central nervous system. As such, the discovery that differential microbial composition is associated with alterations in behaviour and cognition has significantly…

Genes Brain & Behavior template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Genes Brain & Behavior format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Genes Brain & Behavior template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Genes Brain & Behavior use?
Genes Brain & Behavior uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Genes Brain & Behavior 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Genes Brain & Behavior?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Genes Brain & Behavior document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Genes Brain & Behavior template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Genes Brain & Behavior format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Genes Brain & Behavior?
Genes Brain & Behavior is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Genes Brain & Behavior template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Genes Brain & Behavior PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Genes Brain & Behavior template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
