Abstract
Autoantibodies targeting glutamatergic N-methyl-d-aspartic acid receptors (NMDARs) are found in people with anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Two studies reveal that patient-derived autoantibodies are diverse in their epitope binding and modes of action on the NMDAR, providing insights into the mechanisms behind autoantibody-induced NMDAR hypofunction.
