Two articles on miR-137 published! In the first study, we applied an approach similar to GWAS to brain activation during an emotion recognition task and found that amygdala activity was associated with a genetic variant in the miR-137 locus. jpn.ca/content/48/5/E…

Two articles on miR-137 published! In the second study, from postmortem gene expression, we pinpointed genes possibly controlled by miR-137. Higher expression linked to varied prefrontal activation during emotion recognition, not in a memory task. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
