Cytoplasmic FUS triggers early behavioral alterations linked to cortical neuronal hyperactivity and inhibitory synaptic defects

Mutations in the RNA binding protein FUS are associated with ALS. Here the authors show that in FUS knock-in mice there is a progressive increase in neuronal activity in the frontal cortex which is associated with altered synaptic gene expression.
