Core B: Behavioral Core: (Huerta Director) This Core will enhance the individual projects in the Program by providing centralized resources for performing behavioral analysis in mice to test the main hypothesis that key syndromes of neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) are caused by autoantibodies that bind the NR2A and NR2B subunits of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). Specifically, the research described in Project 1, Project 2 and Project 4 depends crucially on careful examination of the behavioral performance of mice. Mice will be subjected to a comprehensive battery of behavioral tests, designed to measure their neurological reflexes, sensorimotor skills, cognitive abilities, emotional processes, learning and memory; however, we will focus on the effects of anti-NMDAR antibodies on specific cognitive tasks that depend on the integrity of a specific NMDAR-rich brain area. The Behavioral Core will ensure that all the tests will be executed under similar environmental conditions and following the same protocol guidelines. This will permit a direct comparison of results across mouse groups tested for different autoantibodies on different times. Another clear advantage will be availability of automated tracking of animals and software-driven protocols, thus minimizing human error and subjective scoring. Finally, the data will be stored in a centralized fashion, with simple access to all investigators in the Program.

核心 B：行为核心：（Huerta 总监） 该核心将通过提供集中资源来增强该计划中的各个项目 用于对小鼠进行行为分析，以测试主要假设，即关键综合征 神经精神性红斑狼疮 (NPSLE) 是由结合了神经精神性红斑狼疮的自身抗体引起的 N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体 (NMDAR) 的 NR2A 和 NR2B 亚基。具体来说， 项目 1、项目 2 和项目 4 中描述的研究关键取决于仔细的研究 检查小鼠的行为表现。小鼠将接受全面的 一系列行为测试，旨在测量他们的神经反射、感觉运动技能、 认知能力、情绪过程、学习和记忆；然而，我们将重点关注 抗 NMDAR 抗体对特定认知任务的影响取决于神经元完整性 特定的富含 NMDAR 的大脑区域。行为核心将确保所有测试都将 在类似的环境条件下执行并遵循相同的协议指南。 这将允许直接比较不同小鼠组测试的结果 不同时间的自身抗体。另一个明显的优势是自动化的可用性 跟踪动物和软件驱动的协议，从而最大限度地减少人为错误和主观 得分。最后，数据将以集中方式存储，所有数据都可以轻松访问 该计划的调查员。
