  1. Abstract Neurons are highly polarized, specialized cells that must overcome immense challenges to ensure the health and survival of the organism in which they reside. They can spread over meters and persist for decades yet communicate at sub-millisecond and millimeter scales. Thus, neurons require extreme levels of spatial-temporal control. Neurons employ molecular motors to transport coding and noncoding RNAs to distal synapses. Intracellular trafficking of RNAs enables neurons to locally regulate protein synthesis and synaptic activity. The way in which RNAs get loaded onto molecular motors and transported to their target locations, particularly following synaptic plasticity, is explored below.
