Endogenous retrovirus activation disrupts postsynaptic organization in human glutamatergic neurons
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) comprise a substantial fraction of the human genome, yet whether their expression can directly alter human neuronal function remains unknown. Because glutamatergic signaling is fundamental to brain function and frequently disrupted in brain disorders, we asked whether activation of the primate-specific ERV-W group, associated with neurological disease, perturbs…
