Sincethe initial studies performedinC.elegans, wegave goneafar wayto begin to understand how microRNA pathways can have an impact on health and disease in human. Although microRNAs are abundantly expressed in the brain, relativelylittleisknownaboutthemultiplefunctionsoftheseRNAmoleculesinthe nervous system. Nevertheless, we know already that microRNA pathways play majorrolesintheproliferation,differentiation,functionandmaintenanceofneuro- nalcells.SeveralintriguingstudieshavelinkedmicroRNAsasmajorregulatorsof theneuronalphenotype,andhaveimplicatedspecificmicroRNAsintheregulation of synapse formation and plasticity. Dysfunction of microRNA pathways is also slowlyemergingasapotential important contributortothepathogenesisofmajor neurodegenerativedisorderssuchasAlzheimer’sdiseaseandParkinson’sdisease. Thesenovelinsightsappeartobeparticularpromisingfortheunderstandingofthe veryfrequentandbadlyunderstoodsporadicformsofthesediseasesascomparedto thegeneticforms. Thus,thebetterunderstandingoftheimplicationsofthisnovel field ofmolecular biology is crucial for the broad area ofneurosciences,from the fundamental aspects to the clinic, and from novel diagnostic to potentially thera- peutic applications for severe neurological and maybe psychiatric diseases.
