    Schematic summary of this study Neuron-specific Igfbp2 deficiency in the PFC impairs cognitive function by disrupting synaptic integrity, excitatory transmission, and neuronal activity, whereas exogenous Igfbp2 supplementation mitigates cognitive deficits by restoring synaptic integrity, excitatory transmission, and neuronal activity. PFC prefrontal cortex, sEPSC spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents, Igfbp2 insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2.
