Open AccessElectrical coupling regulates layer 1 interneuron microcircuit formation in the neocortex
The coexistence of electrical and chemical synapses among interneurons is essential for interneuron function in the neocortex. However, it remains largely unclear whether electrical coupling between interneuro...

Open AccessReciprocal regulation of autism-related genes MeCP2 and PTEN via microRNAs
MeCP2 encodes a methyl-CpG-binding protein that plays a critical role in repressing gene expression, mutations of which lead to Rett syndrome and autism. PTEN is a critical tumor suppressor gene that is frequentl...

Conditional deletion of Mecp2 in parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic cells results in the absence of critical period plasticity
Mutations in the X-linked gene encoding the transcriptional modulator methyl–CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) impair postnatal development of the brain. Here we use neuronal-type specific gene deletion in mice to...
