The role of microRNAs in executive functions: a comprehensive review and bioinformatics analysis of human and animal studies

Authors Navarro-Flores A, Krüger DM, Kaurani L, Fischer A, Schulze TG, Heilbronner U Journal Molecular Psychiatry Citation Mol Psychiatry. 2026 May 1. Abstract Executive functions (EFs) are meta-cognitive abilities that orchestrate goal-directed behavior (i.e., set-shifting, working memory, and inhibitory control). Despite their strong genetic composition, the development of EFs is
