image: Treating young rats with a mimic of the miR-7 microRNA (right column) improved motor function recovery and decreased the volume of lesions in the brain (red outline) compared to untreated rats (left column). This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Dec. 12, 2018, issue of Science Signaling , published by AAAS. The paper, by T. Kim at University of Wisconsin-Madison in Madison, Wisc.; and colleagues was titled, "The microRNA miR-7a-5p ameliorates ischemic brain damage by repressing α-synuclein." view more
