Abstract

Postmortem studies of schizophrenia have yielded definitive evidence for abnormalities of cortical GABAergic neurons. However, few studies have delineated how the GABA neurons are functionally impaired and how their abnormalities cause symptoms of the illness. Thelin et al. (in this issue) recorded in vivo task-related spike firings of individual neurons in the primary auditory cortex in a mouse model of the 15q13.3 microdeletion syndrome, which is associated with an approximately 10-fold increased risk for developing schizophrenia.
