Early deficits in an in vitro striatal microcircuit model carrying the Parkinson’s GBA-N370S mutation

The results highlight the unique utility of modeling striatal neurons in a modular and highly physiological circuit, which is essential to reveal mechanistic insights of the loss of electrical functional integrity in the striata of GBA1 PD patients.
