Neuroligin 1 Modulates Striatal Glutamatergic Neurotransmission in a Pathway and NMDAR Subunit-Specific Manner

Neuroligin 1 Modulates Striatal Glutamatergic Neurotransmission in a Pathway and NMDAR Subunit-Specific Manner

ABSTRACTTogether with its presynaptic partner Neurexin 1 (Nxn1), Neuroligin 1 (NL1) participates in synapse specification and synapse maintenance. We and others have shown that NL1 can also modulate glutamatergic synaptic function in the central nervous system of rodent models. These molecular/cellu...
