Aberrant expression of synaptic plasticity-related genes in the NF1+/- mouse hippocampus.

30 Oct 2009 Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a common single-gene disorder that causes learning impairments in patients. Neurofibromin encoded by the NF1 causal gene regulates Ras/MAPK and cAMP signaling pathways. These signaling pathways play critical roles in ... Read more...

Etomidate targets alpha5 gamma-aminobutyric acid subtype A receptors to regulate synaptic plasticity and memory blockade.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The memory-blocking properties of general anesthetics have recently received considerable attention because of concerns related to intraoperative awareness and postoperative cognitive dysfunction. The goal of this study was to identify ... Read more...

KIF5B motor adaptor syntabulin maintains synaptic transmission in sympathetic neurons.

12 Oct 2009 Newly synthesized synaptic proteins and mitochondria are transported along lengthy neuronal processes to assist in the proper assembly of developing synapses and activity-dependent remodeling of mature synapses. Neuronal transport is mediated by ... Read more...
