Single Neuron Seeks Just the Right Amount of One MicroRNA (1 of 4)

Caption

The microRNA miR-128 governs motor function. Here, a mouse with neuron-specific miR-128 depletion displays increased motor activity and exploration on a running wheel. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the 6 December, 2013, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by Chan Lek Tan at The Rockefeller University in New York, N.Y., and colleagues was titled, "MicroRNA-128 Governs Neuronal Excitability and Motor Behavior in Mice."
