Genetic mapping identifies Homer1 as a developmental modifier of attention

This study identifies Homer1 as a gene that modulates attention by altering prefrontal cortex inhibitory tone and signal-to-noise ratio in mice.

miR-126 modulates neural progenitor cell development

This study shows miR-126 regulates neural progenitor cell differentiation by targeting IGF1R pathway genes and affects motor neuron development.

Cerebellar output neurons impair non-motor behaviors by altering development of extracerebellar connectivity

This study shows that ablating cerebellar output neurons has less impact on behavior than genetic mutations in these neurons, which cause additional deficits in learning and memory.
