: Research published in Nature/PMC highlights how RARα (a specific RAR isoform) regulates presynaptic neurotransmitter release by gating BDNF synthesis in neuronal dendrites.

: An "interesting paper" from The Journal of Neuroscience (2024) explores how inhibiting the Retinoic Acid Receptor (RAR) can reverse the loss of synaptic output in mouse models of retinal degeneration.

If your query was actually a technical shorthand for and their role in synaptic function, several high-impact papers discuss this biological mechanism:
