Until about a decade ago, the non-coding part of the genome was considered without function. The development of high-throughput RNA sequencing techniques (next-generation sequencing) revealed the existence of many transcripts that do not code for proteins in addition to the RNA components needed for mRNA translation: rRNAs and tRNAs. The aim of this issue was to put together reports on the role of non-coding RNAs in the nervous system, an emerging field not covered so far in a systematic manner.
