Abstract
Recent work by Giusti and colleagues showed that circTulp4 modulates excitatory synaptic strength. Knocking down circTulp4 disrupts the excitation-inhibition (E/I) balance in mice and leads to hypersensitivity toward aversive stimuli. These observations update our appreciation of the functions of circular (circ)RNA in the nervous system and their potential implication in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders.
期刊介绍:
For over four decades, Trends in Neurosciences (TINS) has been a prominent source of inspiring reviews and commentaries across all disciplines of neuroscience. TINS is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal, and its articles are curated by the Editor and authored by leading researchers in their respective fields. The journal communicates exciting advances in brain research, serves as a voice for the global neuroscience community, and highlights the contribution of neuroscientific research to medicine and society.
