Study links missing brain protein to ADHD-like behaviors
News-Medical
A study led by researchers from the University of Fukui found that the absence of the brain protein NSF in dopamine D2 receptor-expressing cells is linked to ADHD-like behaviors in mice. The research suggests that NSF plays a crucial role in maintaining the function of these cells, which are important for dopamine signaling and behavioral control. These findings may offer new insights into the biological mechanisms underlying ADHD.
