A role for the spinal cord cholinergic neuron circadian clock in RNA metabolism and mediating ALS disease phenotypes

The paper shows that the circadian clock in spinal cord cholinergic neurons affects RNA metabolism and contributes to ALS disease phenotypes through rhythmic gene expression and alternative splicing.

Altered neurological and neurobehavioral phenotypes in a mouse model of the recurrent KCNB1-p.R306C voltage-sensor variant

This paper generates a Kcnb1R306C mouse model to study the effects of a voltage-sensing mutation in KCNB1, finding altered neurological and neurobehavioral phenotypes.
