New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.
