Autism and Schizophrenia-Associated Pcdh8 Regulates Cortical Development in Mice

Show abstract
Defective cortical development with aberrant neuronal distribution is linked to diverse human pathologies. We show that downregulation of protocadherin-8, a cell-adhesion protein associated with autism and schizophrenia, disrupts neuronal migration and morphology, and increases proliferation in the developing mouse cortex. These findings identify protocadherin-8 as a critical determinant of cortical organization and implicate it in the potential molecular mechanisms underlying human brain pathology.

"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.
