Query: A microRNA cluster downstream of the selector gene Fezf2 coordinates fate specification with dendritic branching in cortical neurons In the cerebral cortex, cortical projection neurons comprise classes of neurons project to distant regions of the central nervous system. These neurons develop from the same progenitor pool, but they acquire strikingly different inputs and outputs to underpin strikingly different functions. The question of how corticospinal projection neurons - involved in motor function and implicated in paralysis - and callosal projection neurons - involved in cognitive function and implicated in autism - develop represents a fundamental and clinically important question in neurodevelopment. A network of transcription factors, including the selector gene Fezf2, is central to specifying cortical projection neuron fates. Gene regulation up- and down-stream of these transcription factors, however, is not well understood, particularly as it relates to the development of the major inputs to cortical projection neurons. Here we show that the miR-193b~365 microRNA cluster downstream of Fezf2 cooperatively represses the signaling molecule Mapk8, and impacts dendritic branching of cortical projection neurons.
