microRNA regulation of social behaviour: Towards harnessing microRNAs for the restoration of social function in neuropsychiatric disease KU Leuven
In this project, we will employ a multi-scale approach, consisting of molecular, cell anatomical, physiological, behavioural and network-level assays, to investigate a potential involvement of the largest mammalian-specific microRNA cluster,
miR379-410, in the control of social function in mice. Based on our results from extensive preliminary experiments, we hypothesize that lack of miR379-410 increases social interaction by enhancing ...
