FMRP stalls ribosomal translocation on mRNAs linked to synaptic function and autism

TLDR
A brain polyribosome-programmed translation system is developed, revealing that FMRP reversibly stalls ribosomes specifically on its target mRNAs and suggests multiple targets for clinical intervention in FXS and ASD.

RNA Protein Interaction in Neurons

TL;DR: What is known about RNA binding proteins in neurons is reviewed and the potential biologic and neurologic significance of neuronal RNA regulatory systems is explored.

Disruption of RNA Metabolism in Neurological Diseases and Emerging Therapeutic Interventions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe distinct mechanisms by which the homeostasis of RNA binding proteins is compromised in neurological disorders through their reduced expression level, increased propensity to aggregate or sequestration by abnormal RNAs.

Transmission, Development, and Plasticity of Synapses

TL;DR: Techniques for studying synapses in Drosophila are discussed, with a focus on the larval neuromuscular junction (NMJ), a well-established model glutamatergic synapse.

Genome-wide, integrative analysis implicates microRNA dysregulation in autism spectrum disorder

TL;DR: Findings support a role for miRNA dysregulation in ASD pathophysiology and provide a rich data set and framework for future analyses of miRNAs in neuropsychiatric diseases.

Monosomes actively translate synaptic mRNAs in neuronal processes

TL;DR: How a diverse set of neuronal proteins might be synthesized from a limited population of polysomes present in small synaptic volumes is investigated and direct evidence for the preferential translation of a high number of both pre and postsynaptic transcripts by monosomes is provided.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Linear Models and Empirical Bayes Methods for Assessing Differential Expression in Microarray Experiments

TL;DR: The hierarchical model of Lonnstedt and Speed (2002) is developed into a practical approach for general microarray experiments with arbitrary numbers of treatments and RNA samples and the moderated t-statistic is shown to follow a t-distribution with augmented degrees of freedom.
