Enhanced NMDA receptor function and social interaction deficits are observed in mice lacking the excitatory postsynaptic scaffolding protein IRSp53. Reducing NMDAR activity by pharmacological methods rescues the impaired social interaction observed in these mice. This suggests that enhanced NMDA receptor function may be associated with social deficits.
