Abstract

The linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex, which spans the nuclear envelope, physically connects nuclear components to the cytoskeleton and plays a pivotal role in various cellular processes, including nuclear positioning, cell migration, and chromosomal configuration. Studies have revealed that the LINC complex is essential for different aspects of the nervous system, particularly during development. The significance of the LINC complex in neural lineage cells is further corroborated by the fact that mutations in genes associated with the LINC complex have been implicated in several neurological diseases, including neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. In this review, we aimed to summarize the expanding knowledge of LINC complex-related neuronal functions and associated neurological diseases.
