Connections two neurons and glutamate

Connection between two neurons (synapse), which communicate via the neurotransmitter glutamate. NCDN ‘assists’ the transmission of glutamate to receptors. Impaired NCDN function, as found in the children studied, inhibits signalling.

  • Neurons produce outgrowths (neurites) that branch out to communicate with other neurons. A normally developed neuron (left) in comparison to a neurochondrin-deficient neuron (right) with fewer and shorter neurite outgrowths.

    ​Mutations in the neurochondrin gene linked to epilepsy

    Mutations in the neurochondrin (NCDN) gene can cause epilepsy, neurodevelopmental delay and intellectual disability. The gene mutation significantly impairs contacts and signalling between neurons in the brain. This is the conclusion of a study led from Uppsala University and published in the American Journal of Human Genetics.
