GIRK Channel Loss of Function Increases Dendritic Excitability in a Mouse Model of GNB1 Encephalopathy

Samuel Gritz, Anshul Voleti, Matthew S. Scarnati, Alessandro R. Galloni, Aaron D. Milstein

This study shows that a GNB1 mutation impairs GIRK channel function in mice, leading to increased dendritic excitability and seizure susceptibility, which can be reversed by a GIRK activator.

Addiction associated N40D mu-opioid receptor variant modulates synaptic function in human neurons

Apoorva Halikere, Dina Popova, Matthew S. Scarnati, Aula Hamod, Mavis R. Swerdel, Jennifer C. Moore, Jay A. Tischfield, Ronald P. Hart, Zhiping P. Pang

This study examines how the N40D variant of the mu-opioid receptor affects synaptic function in human neurons, showing variant-specific effects on inhibitory transmission.
