Their collaborators — Paul Jenkins, Ph.D., and Vann Bennett, M.D., Ph.D., then at Duke University Medical Center — had tried creating a mouse mutant completely lacking the ankyrin - G protein, but the mice didn't survive because ankyrin - G seems to be required for nervous system development.

To see what was happening in the brains of these ankyrin - G mutant mice, the researchers analyzed the cell components in inhibitory synapses connecting with pyramidal neurons, finding that two proteins known as GAT1 and GAD67 — responsible for making the neurochemical GABA that dials back nerve impulses — were at much lower levels in the synapses on pyramidal neurons in ankyrin - G mutant mice than in normal mice.
