Article Synopsis
- Nrg3 is identified as a key partner of ErbB4 in parvalbumin-positive interneurons, influencing their role in cortical network function and psychiatric disorders.
- The absence of Nrg3 mimics the effects seen with ErbB4 removal, leading to fewer excitatory synapses and disrupted network activity.
- Presynaptic Nrg3 enhances synapse formation on ErbB4 interneurons and alters plasticity, suggesting it plays a crucial role in establishing connections between excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
Thermal information about skin surface temperature is a key sense for the perception of object identity and valence. The identification of ion channels involved in the transduction of thermal changes has provided a genetic access point to the thermal system. However, from sensory specific 'labeled-lines' to multimodal interactive pathways, the functional organization and identity of the neural circuits mediating innocuous thermal perception have been debated for over 100 years.
