# Restoring plasticity in parvalbumin neurons aids cognition in neurodevelopmental disorders

Researchers demonstrated that restoring plasticity in parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons improves cognitive function in models of neurodevelopmental disorders. The finding highlights a potential therapeutic target for conditions such as schizophrenia and autism, where cognitive deficits are common.
