Understanding the complex interplay between gene expression and neuronal activity is crucial for unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying cognitive function and neurological disorders. Here, we developed pooled screens for neuronal activity, using CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) and the fluorescent calcium integrator CaMPARI2. Using this screening method, we evaluated 1343 genes for their effect on excitability in human iPSC-derived neurons, revealing potential links to neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders. These genes include known regulators of neuronal excitability, such as TARPs and ion channels, as well as genes associated with autism spectrum disorder and Alzheimers disease not previously described to affect neuronal excitability. This CRISPRi-based screening platform offers a versatile tool to uncover molecular mechanisms controlling neuronal activity in health and disease.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
