by Sa, L., Li, Y., Zhao, L., Liu, Y., Wang, P., Liu, L., Li, Z., Ma, J., Cai, H., and Xue, Y. (2017). Front. Mol. Neurosci. 10:194. doi: 10.3389/fnmol.2017.00194

The journal retracts the 28 June 2017 article cited above.

Following publication, concerns were raised regarding the integrity of the images in the published figures, with areas of image duplication in Figures 2E and 6G. The authors failed to provide a satisfactory explanation during the investigation, which was conducted in accordance with Frontiers' policies. As a result, the data and conclusions of the article have been deemed unreliable and the article has been retracted.

This retraction was approved by the Chief Editors of Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience and the Chief Executive Editor of Frontiers. The authors did not agree to this retraction.
