dc.description.tableofcontents Ⅰ. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General introduction 1
1.2 Part 1. Introduction 1
1.3 Intellectual disability is caused by a malfunction of synaptic proteins 2
1.4 Slitrk proteins are associated with ID 4
1.5 ID is caused by dysfunctions of the mPFC and hippocampus 7
1.6 Interneurons act as mediators between neurons in the nervous system 8
1.7 Classification of interneurons 9
1.8 The roles of synaptic CAMs are cell-type dependent 10
1.9 Non-canonical function of synaptic CAMs 10

ⅠⅠⅠ. RESULTS
3.1 Part 1. Research on Slitrk2 24
3.1.1 Identification of Slitrk2 variants in patients with ID 24
3.1.2 Slitrk2 KO mice exhibit abnormal anxiety-like behavior, cognitive impairment,
memory deficits, and abnormal gaits 24
3.1.3 The behavioral abnormalities of Nestin-Slitrk2 mice reflect a reduction of excit-
atory synapses in the hippocampus 26
3.1.4 The Slitrk2 T312A mutant, found in human patients, was unable to rescue the
memory deficits of Slitrk2 KO mice 27
3.2 Part 2. Research of Slitrk3 43
3.2.1 Deletion of Slitrk3 in cortical cultured neurons results in a reduction of inhibitory
synapses 43
3.2.2 Slitrk3 specifically regulates inhibitory synapses in the mPFC 43
3.2.3 mPFC-specific knockout of Slitrk3 leads to abnormal anxiety-like behavior and
impaired fear memory 44
3.2.4 The Slitrk3 protein contributes to inhibiting synaptic transmission in the mPFC
45
3.2.5 Slitrk3 binds with ErbB1 and PTPδ to regulate inhibition from VIP-interneurons
to SST-interneurons 57
3.2.6 Slitrk3 protein regulates synaptic transmission in SST-positive interneurons
46
