Teneurins, TCAP, and latrophilins: roles in the etiology of mood disorders

Mood disorders, including anxiety and depression, are thought to be characterized by disrupted neuronal synapses and altered brain plasticity. The etiology is complex, involving numerous regions of the brain, comprising a multitude of neurotransmitter and neuromodulator systems. Recently, new studie...

Teneurins, TCAP, and latrophilins: roles in the etiology of mood disorders
description Mood disorders, including anxiety and depression, are thought to be characterized by disrupted neuronal synapses and altered brain plasticity.
