Abstract excerpt

Gene targeting is revealing new molecular functions by creating very specific developmental, physiological and behavioral perturbations, and providing new insights into biochemical pathways underlying synaptic plasticity. Recent studies of mice carrying mutations in genes thought to be involved i...
