A new study reveals that microRNAs--tiny regulators of gene expression--play a crucial role in shaping Purkinje cells, rare brain neurons linked to movement and neurodevelopmental disorders. Using advanced genetic tools, researchers showed that disabling microRNAs during specific developmental windows impaired the cells' growth and ability to form key connections.
