Selective Magnetic Stimulation Targets GABRE in SCZ
2026-08-23
A 2025 Molecular Psychiatry study identifies the GABAA receptor epsilon subunit, GABRE, in the left prelimbic cortex as a causal and stimulation-responsive target in mouse models of schizophrenia-like behavior. By combining regionally precise magnetic stimulation with genetic loss- and gain-of-function experiments, the authors connect behavioral and synaptic rescue to p62/SQSTM1-mediated regulation of GABARAP-family sequestration.
