Core Tip This review establishes fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) as a central signaling integrator in mental disorders, moving beyond its traditional developmental roles. We highlight novel mechanisms including dynamic heteroreceptor complex formation with neurotransmitter receptors and essential neuron-glia communication, through which FGFR1 regulates synaptic and circuit plasticity. These insights directly link FGFR1 pathway dysregulation to the pathophysiology of depression and schizophrenia, positioning it as a compelling and druggable target for next-generation therapeutics.
