Messenger RNA (mRNA) localization allows spatiotemporal regulation of the proteome at
the subcellular level. This is observed in the axons of neurons, where mRNA localization is …

In recent years, advances in science and technology have improved our quality of life,
enabling us to tackle diseases and increase human life expectancy. However, longevity is …

Functional genomics studies through transcriptomics, translatomics and proteomics have
become increasingly important tools to understand the molecular basis of biological systems …

Graph theoretical analyses of nervous systems usually omit the aspect of connection
polarity, due to data insufficiency. The chemical synapse network of Caenorhabditis elegans …

During C. elegans development, 1090 somatic cells are generated, of which 959 survive
and 131 die, many through apoptosis. We present evidence that PUF-8, a C. elegans …

The brain represents an organ with a particularly high diversity of genes that undergo post-
transcriptional gene regulation through multiple mechanisms that affect RNA metabolism …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that affects
approximately 4% of males and 1% of females in the United States. While causes of ASD …

How organisms learn and encode memory is an outstanding question in neuroscience
research. Specifically, how memories are acquired and consolidated at the level of …

Evolutionary developmental biology focuses on understanding the origin and evolution of
extant biological variation, and the genetic basis for this variation. The genetic toolkit …

SUMMARY RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate translation and plasticity which are
required for memory. RBP dysfunction has been linked to a range of neurological disorders …
