Schizophrenia Risk Pathways in Developing Neurons
2026-09-12
Liu et al. show that schizophrenia-associated GWAS loci converge on different biological pathways in developing cortical interneurons and glutamatergic neurons. Their combination of cell-type-resolved transcriptomics, chromatin profiling, morphology, transplantation, and electrophysiology links interneuron risk biology to PKC signaling and glutamatergic-neuron risk biology to ion transport.
