Discoveries over the past decade portend a paradigm shift in molecular biology. Evidence
suggests that RNA is not only functional as a messenger between DNA and protein but also …

Memory, the ability to retain learned information, is necessary for survival. Thus far,
molecular and cellular investigations of memory formation and storage have mainly focused …

Schizophrenia (SZ) is a complex disease characterized by impaired neuronal functioning.
Although defective alternative splicing has been linked to SZ, the molecular mechanisms …

Memory, defined as the storage and use of learned information in the brain, is necessary to
modulate behavior and critical for animals to adapt to their environments and survive …

Sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia, but no clear
disease‐initiating mechanism is known. Aβ deposits and neuronal tangles composed of …

Synapses between neurons are malleable biochemical structures, strengthening and
diminishing over time dependent on the type of information they receive. This phenomenon …

In the past few decades, the field of neuroepigenetics has investigated how the brain
encodes information to form long-lasting memories that lead to stable changes in behaviour …

The nervous system equips us with capability to adapt to many conditions and
circumstances. We rely on an armamentarium of intricately formed neural circuits for many of …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small regulatory noncoding RNAs∼ 22 bp in
length that mediate post-transcriptional silencing of gene expression via the recognition of …

Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of brain circuits to reorganize and change the properties
of the network, resulting in alterations in brain function and behavior. It is traditionally …
