摘要
Two articles in the current issue of Neuron examine the consequences of deleting the two genes that encode glycine transporters. Interestingly, loss of glial transporters enhances while loss of presynaptic neuronal transporters reduces glycinergic transmission. These two opposing phenotypes resemble distinct human diseases characterized by dysfunction in glycinergic signaling.
