In this study, we used diffusion tensor imaging to investigate the effect of MECP2 overexpressing (MECP2-OE) on the rat brain development. Our results showed the MECP2-OE mainly affected the cerebellar fiber tracts and limbic structures. Behavior tests showed the MECP2-OE rats presented significant defects of social interaction than the wild type (WT) rats.
