Description

The study shows prenatal nicotine exposure changes D2R affinity and coupling in Snap25 heterozygotes, but the underlying molecular pathways are not explained. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for developing targeted interventions for ADHD and related neurodevelopmental disorders.
