Gene Expression and Regulation in Neuronal Function
The Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology welcomes submissions to this specialized research topic that is dedicated to advancing our understanding of the intricate relationship between gene expression and regulation in neuronal function. We invite contributions that delve into the mechanisms governing gene expression in neurons, including the roles of transcription factors, epigenetics, and non-coding RNAs. Our scope encompasses investigations into gene expression during crucial processes such as neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal signaling. Furthermore, we emphasize the exploration of gene networks and their impact on the functioning of the nervous system. By fostering research in these pivotal areas, our aim is to contribute to a deeper comprehension of how gene expression and regulation underlie neuronal function. This understanding has the potential to unravel critical insights into neurological disorders and may pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies targeting gene expression for improved neuronal health and function.
