Abstract
ADHD is a typical neurodevelopmental disorder with a high prevalence rate. NSCs in the subventricular zone (SVZ) are closely related to neurodevelopmental disorder and can affect olfactory function by neurogenesis and migratory route. Although olfactory dysfunction is one of the symptoms of ADHD, the relevance of cells in the olfactory bulb derived from NSCs has not been studied. Therefore, we investigated olfactory memory and NSCs in Git1-deficient mice, under the ADHD model. Interestingly, only adult male G protein-coupled receptor kinase-interacting protein-1 (GIT1)-deficient (+/−, HE) mice showed impaired olfactory memory, suggesting sex and age dependence. We performed adult NSCs culture from the SVZ and observed distinct cell population in both sex and genotype. Taken together, our study suggests that the altered differentiation of NSCs in GIT1+/− mice can contribute to olfactory dysfunction in ADHD.
