MicroRNA function is required for neurite outgrowth of mature neurons in the mouse postnatal cerebral cortex

The structure of the postnatal mammalian cerebral cortex is an assembly of numerous mature neurons that exhibit proper neurite outgrowth and axonal and dendritic morphology. While many protein coding genes are shown to be involved in neuronal maturation, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in this proce...
