Excited to share our work from @UNMHSC to identify the role of a psychiatric-associated circularRNA, circHomer1. RNA circles, despite being non-protein coding, can influence neuronal activity, synaptic gene expression, and executive function! go.nature.com/4fVQ9Gc

This was by far the hardest project I've ever completed. Very excited to have it out as a #preprint on @researchsquare: Knockdown of circHomer1 in the orbitofrontal cortex results in differential encoding of salient stimuli researchsquare.com/article/rs-186…
