Mesolimbic dopaminergic circuits are thought to play a role in the pathophysiology of several neuropsychiatric conditions, including disorders of impulse control, schizophrenia, and neurodevelopmental disorders (Li et al., 2006; Purper-Ouakil et al., 2011; Maia and Frank, 2017; Robinson and Gradinaru, 2018), including NF1 (Brown et al., 2010a; Diggs-Andrews et al., 2013; Anastasaki et al., 2015). Here, NF1 is linked to neurodevelopmental disorder.
