Anti-GABAB receptor autoimmunity causes cognitive decline by presynaptic pathology

The GABAB receptor is a central regulator of neuronal transmission and excitability by pre- and postsynaptic mechanisms. Its dysfunction causes severe neurological disease, but the underlying pathomechanisms remain elusive. Here, we exploit a distinct CNS autoimmune disorder in which patients develop specific autoantibodies against GABAB receptors causing autoimmune encephalitis with severe…
