Neurexin1α knockout in rats causes aberrant social behaviour: relevance for autism and schizophrenia
Achterberg E, Biemans B, Vanderschuren L
Psychopharmacology (Berl)
. 2024 Feb;
PMID: 38418646
Rationale: Genetic and environmental factors cause neuropsychiatric disorders through complex interactions that are far from understood. Loss-of-function mutations in synaptic proteins like neurexin1α have been linked to autism spectrum disorders...
