Abstract
NGL-2 is a postsynaptic adhesion molecule known to regulate synaptic transmission, but whether NGL-2 regulates synaptic plasticity and specific behaviors remains unknown. Um et al. find that mice lacking NGL-2 display suppressed NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity and autistic-like social deficits and repetitive behaviors that are responsive to NMDA receptor activation.
