Response to: "Re-examining interneuron-specific Nrp2 deletion: overlooked striatal and cortical contributions"

This "Correspondence" is a "Response" to the "Comment" by Dr. Aihua Yuan and Dr. Bo Yuan, titled "Re-examining interneuron-specific Nrp2 deletion: overlooked striatal and cortical contributions", in relation to our published article "Dysregulation of neuropilin-2 expression in inhibitory neurons impairs hippocampal circuit development and enhances risk for autism-related behaviors and seizures". While the limitations expressed in the comment by Drs Yuan and Yuan regarding the potential extrahippocampal contributions to the behavioral deficits in mice with interneuron-specific Neuropilin 2 deletion are valid, we would like to emphasize that these issues were extensively and were thoroughly discussed in our publication and not overlooked.
