Danny Winder, PhD, and colleagues reported in The Journal of Neurosciencethat acute restraint stress in mice activates CRF neurons in the BNST, supporting a role for these neurons in stress-related behaviors.
Efforts to explore the landscape of small RNAs (sRNAs) — short RNA molecules that are poorly understood — often use high-throughput sequencing (sRNA-seq). These efforts are hampered by a lack of tools to identify, quantify and analyze all the different sRNAs in sRNA-seq datasets.
