Decrease of SYNGAP1 in GABAergic cells impairs inhibitory synapse connectivity, synaptic inhibition and cognitive function

Glutamatergic signalling regulation by Syngap1 has been linked to intellectual disabilities. Here, the authors find Syngap1 also regulates cortical GABAergic synaptic signalling development and that this reduced inhibitory signalling contributes to cognitive deficits in a mouse model.
