NPAS3 and psychiatric disorder: In conclusion, here we showed that Npas3 is critical for cortical development by influencing processes including stemness maintenance of radial glia cells, the proliferation of neural progenitors in VZ/SVZ, and neuronal radial migration, shedding light on the physiological functions of Npas3 and increasing our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of NPAS3-related psychiatric disorders.
