Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Function of alternative splicing in neurons is not restricted to diversification of protein families. • Alternative splicing targets mRNA populations to additional RNA metabolism pathways. • Alternative splicing regulates spatio-temporal expression of neuronal proteins. • Alternative splicing directs cell-type specific transcriptomes. • Alternative splicing controls rapid modification of neuronal transcriptomes.
