Complete Disruption of the Kainate Receptor Gene Family Results in Corticostriatal Dysfunction in Mice

Kainate receptors are members of the glutamate receptor family that regulate synaptic function in the brain. They modulate synaptic transmission and the excitability of neurons; however, their contributions to neural circuits that underlie behavior are unclear. To understand the net impact of kainat...
