Editorial: Advances in understanding synaptic function and its dysfunction in neurological disorders
Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, which currently lack effective treatment strategies (Aishworiya et al., 2022), pose a significant challenge to worldwide public health systems (Kularatna et al., 2022). One of the core clinical phenotype associated with these disabling disorders are cognitive deficits, which is likely due to molecular mechanisms that affect long-term changes in synaptic development, function and plasticity (Parenti et al., 2020). Understanding these mechanisms are the crucial first step for addressing cognitive impairments associated with these complex neurological conditions (Kozubski et al., 2021). Toward this purpose, our Research Topic focuses on the intricate aspects of brain cognitive functions, including the role of specific proteins, therapeutic interventions, modulation of neuronal circuits, and the impact of molecular mechanisms on cognitive impairments.
