Molecules of the immune system may look a bit out of place on neurons, but they are increasingly revealing themselves as important players in the brain. Six years ago, Carla Shatz and colleagues from ...
The complexity of the human brain is unparalleled. Fortunately, thanks to constant progress in neuroscience over the past decades, we have started to make some sense of the human brain. For instance, ...
Ingesting ethanol (EtOH) at low doses during social drinking is a common human behavior for its facilitating effects on social interactions. However, low-dose EtOH may have also detrimental effects ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 99, No. 15 (Jul. 23, 2002), pp. 10132-10137 (6 pages) Long-term synaptic plasticity leading to enhancement in ...
Cognitive decline associated with aging is caused by the loss of cholinergic nerve supply to the hippocampus of our brain. Since the hippocampus is the center of learning and memory, a reduction in ...
Scientific evidence shows how the cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is caused by the buildup of amyloid beta proteins, which promote synaptic malfunction. One of the neuropathological ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Phosphorylation of the GluA1 subunit of AMPA receptors has been proposed to regulate receptor trafficking and synaptic transmission and ...

Researchers have for the first time identified a novel role for the CA2-enriched protein RGS14 and provided insights into the mechanism by which it limits plasticity. RGS14 seems to be special, acting ...
Dendritic spine shape enables sequestering of subcellular components needed for synaptic plasticity, including polyribosomes for local protein synthesis, smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) to regulate ...
