Abstract excerpt
Cortical interneuron (cIN) dysfunction is associated with various neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders, including developmental epilepsies, autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disabilities. Mutations in ARX (aristaless-related homeobox) are linked to these conditions, with or without accompanying structural brain anomalies. We previously demonstrated that the loss of Arx in the mouse ganglionic...
