Abstract

Social discrimination is regulated by a variety of sensory inputs. In this issue of Neuron, Dulcis et al. (2017) show that chemosensory-mediated kin preference in Xenopus is determined by changes in neurotransmitter composition, which are regulated by specific microRNAs.

摘要

社会歧视受多种感官输入调节。在本期《神经元》杂志上，Dulcis 等人（2017 年）表明，爪蟾的化学感觉介导的亲缘偏好取决于神经递质组成的变化，而神经递质组成受特定 microRNAs 的调节。
