| Abstract |
Current research exploring the molecular basis of memory focuses mainly on proteins despite recent genomic studies reporting the abundant transcription of non-protein-coding RNA (ncRNA). Although ncRNAs are involved in a diverse range of biological processes, they are particularly prevalent within the nervous system, where they contribute towards the complexity and function of the mammalian brain. In this review, we apply recent advances in ncRNA biology to predict a critical role for ncRNAs in the molecular mechanisms underlying memory formation and maintenance. We describe the role of ncRNAs in regulating the translation, stability, and editing of mRNA populations in response to synaptic activity during memory formation and the role of ncRNAs in the epigenetic and transcriptional programs that underlie long-term memory storage. We also consider ncRNAs acting as an additional avenue of communication between neurons by their intercellular trafficking. Taken together, the emerging evidence suggests a central role for ncRNAs in memory formation and provokes novel research directions in this field. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 May 2018.
All research outputs
#14,725,323
of 22,663,969 outputs
Outputs from The Neuroscientist
#559
of 720 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#54,500
of 63,957 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Neuroscientist
#16
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,663,969 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 720 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.8. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 63,957 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
