The paper shows microglia support neuronal protein synthesis by coordinating metabolic coupling in response to increased demand from motor tasks.

The paper identifies neuron-type-specific mRNA translation programs during early memory consolidation and shows they are influenced by mRNA sequence features.

This study shows that DcpS, an mRNA-decapping enzyme, is critical for neuronal development and that its mutation leads to developmental delay and intellectual disability.
