Abstract excerpt
NRG1-ErbB4 signaling controls inhibitory circuit development in the mammalian cortex through ErbB4-dependent regulation of GABAergic interneuron connectivity. Common genetic variation in ErbB4 (rs7598440) has been associated with ErbB4 messenger RNA levels in the human cortex and risk for schizophrenia. Recent work demonstrates that Erbb4 is expressed exclusively on inhibitory interneurons, where its presence on...
