Group 2 innate lymphoid cells drive inhibitory synapse formation with lasting effects on learning and memory

The immune system provides multiple layers of protection that extend beyond conventional pathogen defense, including context-dependent modulation of behavior. However, the mechanisms driving these immune-mediated behavioral modifications remain incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that grou...

Description
Summary:The immune system provides multiple layers of protection that extend beyond conventional pathogen defense, including context-dependent modulation of behavior. However, the mechanisms driving these immune-mediated behavioral modifications remain incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) shape hippocampal synaptic development during early postnatal stages, with lasting effects on adult behavior, learning, and memory.
