DNA repair enzyme NEIL3 enables a stable neural representation of space by shaping transcription in hippocampal neurons

Summary: DNA repair enzymes are essential for the maintenance of the neuronal genome and thereby proper brain functions. Emerging evidence links DNA repair to epigenetic gene regulation; however, its contribution to different transcriptional programs required for neuronal functions remains elusive....
