Excitation-inhibition balance as a framework for investigating mechanisms in neuropsychiatric disorders
VS Sohal, JLR Rubenstein - Molecular psychiatry, 2019 - nature.com
Abstract In 2003 Rubenstein and Merzenich hypothesized that some forms of Autism (ASD)
might be caused by a reduction in signal-to-noise in key neural circuits, which could be the …
