Neurobiology Select

In our Select pages, we highlight exciting themes that have emerged from our review of the recent literature on a particular topic. In this issue, we present Neurobiology Select in which we discuss a cluster of recent papers that increases our understanding of complex human neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, Tourette’s syndrome, and developmental dyslexia. Some of the genes implicated in the etiology of these diseases encode proteins that regulate neuronal morphology. There is also evidence that microRNAs (miRNAs) may contribute to the regulation of neuronal morphology and possibly to disease.
