Protein phosphatase 1 regulates the histone code for long-term memory.

12 Oct 2009 Chromatin remodeling through histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and DNA methylation has recently been implicated in cognitive functions, but the mechanisms involved in such epigenetic regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we show ... Read more...

Preparation of rat brain aggregate cultures for neuron and glia development studies.

28 Sep 2009 An in vitro system that recapitulates the development and differentiation of progenitors into mature neurons and glia in the central nervous system (CNS) would provide a powerful platform for neuroscientists to investigate axo-glial interactions, ... Read more...

IGF-I promotes neuronal migration and positioning in the olfactory bulb and the exit of neuroblasts from the subventricular zone.

25 Aug 2009 While insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) supports neuronal and glial differentiation in the CNS, it is largely unknown whether IGF-I also influences neuronal migration and positioning. We show here that the pattern of olfactory bulb (OB) layering ... Read more...
