The claim isn't that bold, there is a well established link between inhibitory neuron disfunction and neuropsychiatric disorders.
I think you're mis-reading the comment. The passage says that inhibitory neurons are important, not the 'Rose Hip' neurons.
- phkahler 8y agoYou are correct. I interpreted that as saying these particular cells are important, not the general class of inhibitory neurons. The article also didn't (unless I missed it) spell out the connection between inhibitory activity and neuropsychiatric disorders. I had not heard of the relation between lack of inhibitory action and such disorders, but I know glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and its deficiency can play a role in such disorders. Now I know of a more general framework to put that into. So this all make sense now, but it wasn't clear to me strictly from the article. Thanks.
