Abstract

Cell-specific regulation of gene expression is important for maintaining cortical excitatory/inhibitory balance. In this issue of Neuron, Vuong et al. (2018) reveal an unlikely role for a broadly expressed RNA binding protein, Rbfox1, in protecting inhibitory transmission in the hippocampus.
