Spine nanostructure profiling of cultured neurons from mouse models reveals a schizophrenia-linked role for Ecrg4

Aug 20, 2026

Super-resolution microscopy revealed characteristic nanoscale changes in synaptic morphology in mouse models carrying psychiatric disorder–risk mutations. Distinct patterns were observed in schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder models, suggesting that synaptic nanostructure may help classify disease mechanisms and support future drug discovery.
