Neuroligin 2 regulates absence seizures and behavioral arrests through GABAergic transmission within the thalamocortical circuitry
Neuroligins are postsynaptic cell adhesion molecules that are involved in synapse function and autism spectrum disorder. The authors show that NLG2-mediated GABAergic transmission at the thalamic reticular nucleus-thalamic circuit is a common mechanism underlying epileptic seizures and ASD.
