Dysfunction of MeCP2 is associated with a variety of neurological disorders. MECP2 gene duplication in human causes neuropsychiatric symptoms such as mental retardation and autism. MeCP2 overexpression in mice results in neurobehavioural disorders, dendritic abnormalities, and synaptic defects. However, how gain of MeCP2 function influences cortical processing of sensory information remains unclear. In this study, we examined visual processing in a mouse model of MECP2 duplication syndrome (MECP2 Tg1 mouse) at 8 and 14 weeks, which were before and after the onset of behavioural symptoms, respectively. <jats:italic>In vivo<\/jats:italic> extracellular recordings from primary visual cortex (V1) showed that neurons in Tg1 mice at both adult ages preferred higher spatial frequencies (SFs) than those in wild-type (WT) littermate controls, and the semi-saturation contrasts of neurons were lower in Tg1 mice at 8 weeks but not at 14 weeks. Behavioural experiments showed that the performance for visual detection at high SFs and low contrasts was higher in MECP2 Tg1 mice. Thus, MeCP2 gain-of-function in mice leads to higher visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, both at the levels of cortical response and behavioural performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-06916-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,19]],"date-time":"2017-07-19T15:39:02Z","timestamp":1500478742000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Altered visual cortical processing in a mouse model of MECP2 duplication syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Dinghong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weiqian","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Taorong","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ran","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dali","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4286-3288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zilong","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haishan","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"6916_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/11.2.115","volume":"11","author":"MD Shahbazian","year":"2002","unstructured":"Shahbazian, M.
