This study shows that disrupting Nrp2 in interneuron precursors leads to ASD-like behaviors and increased seizure risk in mice.

This study shows that concussive brain injury impairs pattern separation in the dentate gyrus, affecting both cellular decorrelation of temporal inputs and behavioral discrimination of similar spatial locations.

This study shows that Nrp2 deficiency in mice reduces interneuron subtypes and inhibitory regulation in the hippocampus, leading to seizures and autism-like behaviors.

This study shows that Nrp2 signaling is essential for corticostriatal synaptic maintenance, spine structure, and learning in mice, with implications for neurodevelopmental disorders.
