    GluD1, linked to schizophrenia, controls the burst firing of dopamine neurons

    Human mutations of the GRID1 gene encoding the orphan delta1 glutamate receptor-channel (GluD1) are associated with schizophrenia but the explicit role of GluD1 in brain circuits is unknown. Based on the known fu...
