    Abstract Disturbances that threaten homeostasis elicit activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the adrenal medulla. The effectors discharge as a unit to drive global and immediate changes in whole-body physiology. Descending sympathetic information is conveyed to the adrenal medulla via preganglionic splanchnic fibers. These fibers pass into the gland and synapse onto chromaffin cells, which synthesize, store, and secrete catecholamines and vasoactive peptides. While the importance of the sympatho-adrenal branch of the autonomic nervous system has been appreciated for many decades, the mechanisms underlying transmission between presynaptic splanchnic neurons and postsynaptic chromaffin cells have remained obscure. In contrast to chromaffin cells, which have enjoyed sustained attention as a model system for exocytosis, even the Ca

    Abstract Down syndrome (DS) is caused by the trisomy of human chromosome 21 (HSA21). A major challenge in DS research is to identify the HSA21 genes that cause specific symptoms. Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (DSCAM) is encoded by a HSA21 gene. Previous studies have shown that the protein level of the Drosophila homolog of DSCAM determines the size of presynaptic terminals. However, whether the triplication of DSCAM contributes to presynaptic development in DS remains unknown. Here, we show that DSCAM levels regulate GABAergic synapses formed on neocortical pyramidal neurons (PyNs). In the Ts65Dn mouse model for DS, where DSCAM is overexpressed due to DSCAM triplication, GABAergic innervation of PyNs by basket and chandelier interneurons is increased. Genetic normalization of DSCAM expression rescues the excessive GABAergic innervations and the increased inhibition of PyNs. Conversely, loss of DSCAM impairs GABAergic synapse development and function. These findings demonstrate excessive GABAergic innervation and synaptic transmission in the neocortex of DS mouse models and identify DSCAM overexpression as the cause. They also implicate dysregulated DSCAM levels as a potential pathogenic driver in related neurological disorders.
