Arc, a growth factor and activity-regulated gene, encodes a novel cytoskeleton-associated protein that is enriched in neuronal dendrites

Chats0
TLDR
Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence indicates a region of homology with alpha-spectrin, and observations suggest that Arc may play a role in activity-dependent plasticity of dendrites.

Synaptic plasticity and memory: an evaluation of the hypothesis

TL;DR: It is concluded that a wealth of data support the notion that synaptic plasticity is necessary for learning and memory, but that little data currently supports the notion of sufficiency.

Long-Term Potentiation and Memory

TL;DR: Lynch et al. as mentioned in this paper identified the cellular and molecu... cellular and memory cells in neuroscience is one of the most significant challenges in neuroscience and identified the most important genes for long-term potentiation and memory.

Aberrant Excitatory Neuronal Activity and Compensatory Remodeling of Inhibitory Hippocampal Circuits in Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: It is reported that hAPP mice have spontaneous nonconvulsive seizure activity in cortical and hippocampal networks, which is associated with GABAergic sprouting, enhanced synaptic inhibition, and synaptic plasticity deficits in the dentate gyrus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural plasticity in the ageing brain

TL;DR: Major advances in understanding of age-related changes in the medial temporal lobe and prefrontal cortex are discussed and how these changes in functional plasticity contribute to behavioural impairments in the absence of significant pathology.

Addiction and the brain: The neurobiology of compulsion and its persistence

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed for the possibility that compulsion and its persistence are based on a pathological usurpation of molecular mechanisms that are normally involved in memory, which is often initiated by exposure to drug-related cues.

A conserved AU sequence from the 3′ untranslated region of GM-CSF mRNA mediates selective mRNA degradation

TL;DR: It is proposed that the AU sequences are the recognition signal for an mRNA processing pathway which specifically degrades the mRNAs for certain lymphokines, cytokines, and proto-oncogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The scanning model for translation: an update.

TL;DR: The small (40S) subunit of eukaryotic ribosomes is believed to bind initially at the capped 5'-end of messenger RNA and then migrate, stopping at the first AUG codon in a favorable context for initiating translation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulation and function of c-fos and other immediate early genes in the nervous system.

TL;DR: This review highlights the importance of identifying the genes that are responsive to trans-synaptic stimulation and membrane electrical activity in neural cells and proposes that IEGs encode regulatory proteins that control the expression of late response genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

At least six nucleotides preceding the AUG initiator codon enhance translation in mammalian cells

TL;DR: Analysis of a new set of mutants now reveals that sequences slightly farther upstream are also influential, the optimal context for initiation being (GCC)GCCA/GCC a/gCCAUGG, the repeating GCC motif.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of a mitogen-inducible cyclooxygenase in brain neurons: Regulation by synaptic activity and glucocorticoids

TL;DR: The studies indicate that COX-2 expression may be important in regulating prostaglandin signaling in brain, and the marked inducibility in neurons by synaptic stimuli suggests a role in activity-dependent plasticity.
