Non-coding RNAs in the nervous system

J Physiol. 2006 Sep 1;575(Pt 2):333-41. doi: 10.1113/jphysiol.2006.113191. Epub 2006 Jun 29.

Abstract

Increasing evidence suggests that the development and function of the nervous system is heavily dependent on RNA editing and the intricate spatiotemporal expression of a wide repertoire of non-coding RNAs, including micro RNAs, small nucleolar RNAs and longer non-coding RNAs. Non-coding RNAs may provide the key to understanding the multi-tiered links between neural development, nervous system function, and neurological diseases.
