Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory discover protein mGluR1 that regulates temporary neural connections in the developing mouse brain, potentially aiding in treating brain disorders like autism.

A key protein, mGluR1, has been discovered by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory researchers that helps regulate temporary neural connections in the developing mouse brain. These connections are vital in shaping brain circuits during early life. Targeting this developmental process could potentially be a therapeutic avenue for treating brain disorders like autism, which occur due to issues in brain development.
