The paper identifies miR-1229-3p as a human-specific microRNA that delays neuronal synaptogenesis by reducing mitochondrial metabolism.

This study shows that m6A methylation regulates RNA transport and local translation in axons of developing neurons, with NGF promoting methylated transcript localization and inhibiting premature protein synthesis.

This study identifies miR-218-5p as a regulator that coordinates excitatory and inhibitory synaptic scaling during homeostatic synaptic plasticity and sleep.
