Deskripsi

Editorial summary Breakthroughs on many fronts have provided strong evidence to support synaptic dysfunction as a causal factor for neuropsychiatric diseases. Genetic studies have identified variants implicated in novel biological and synaptic pathways, and animal and patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell-based models have allowed mechanistic investigations of synaptic dysfunction in pathological processes.
