AUTISM IS SEX-SPECIFIC
• Autism is a sex-specific neurological disorder, affecting males much more commonly than females• Multiple studies have found that
males display a greater severity of autistic traits

16P11.2 IS A RISK FACTOR FOR AUTISM
• Deletions and duplications of the 16p11.2 gene are risk factors for autism spectrum disorder.

REWARD LEARNING AND MOTIVATION
Could some ASD deficits be related to disrupted reward learning or motivation,
not decreased preference for rewards?
Social interaction deficits and restricted interests and repetitive behaviors are core symptoms of autism.

WHY DOES STRIATAL FUNCTION MATTER?
Operant learning (When I see X, I do Y behavior, to cause Z outcome) is dependent on striatal function.

GOAL
• To characterize male and female 16p11 deleted mice for striatal rule learning and motivation
• Assess any sex differences

16P11 MALES HAVE IMPAIRED MOTIVATION
![Page 14: Research Symposium '14](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/55d09047bb61eba9218b4570/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
METHODS: SUCROSE PREFERENCE
Deficits in operant learning and performance cannot be accounted for
by a disliking for sweetened rewards.

CONCLUSION: 16P11 MALE MICE ARE EXTREMELY IMPAIRED DURING OPERANT
BEHAVIOR TASKS• 16p11.2 male deleted mice are extremely
impaired during operant behavior tasks while the females showed no evidence of impairments
• Future directions: social behavior tasks, social operant tasks, examination of specific genes
