Description
From the initial specification of neuronal cell types to the formation and plasticity of synaptic connections, non-protein coding small regulatory RNAs, in particular the microRNAs (miRNAs), are emerging as important regulators of nervous system development and function. Moreover, their role in controlling pathogenesis of neurological disease and their potential as disease biomarkers and targets for therapeutic intervention are becoming increasingly apparent. This 1-day symposium will explore the role of non-coding RNAs in nervous system development, gene expression, function and etiology of disease.
