RemarkIncreased GABA(A) receptor immobilized pool at NMJ (neuromuscular junction); "FRAP analysis suggests that mobility of synaptic GFP-UNC-49B was decreased in nrx-1 mutants. This FRAP defect was rescued by transgenes expressing NRX-1α in motor neurons (Nα) but not those expressing NRX-1β(Nβ)." (Figure 6F,G)Paper_evidenceWBPaper00048837

Remarkincreased mIPSC amplitude at NMJ (neuromuscular junction); "Mean mIPSC (miniature inhibitory post-synaptic currents) amplitude was significantly increased in nrx-1 null mutants (Figure 6A,B), indicating an increased number of functional UNC-49 receptors at synapses."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00048837
