Improving brain resilience: Rab proteins and future treatments
Understanding the cellular logistics behind memory formation Memory formation is more than a simple spark of thought. It involves synaptic potentiation, where active connections between neurons strengthen through intricate structural changes. These changes require a precise, logistical operation inside the neuron to deliver the right materials to remodel synapses. Recent research shines a light on…

Rab Proteins and Memory: Rab4/Rab10 in Synaptic Potentiation
Understanding the cellular logistics of memory formation Memory formation hinges on synaptic potentiation, a process where active neural connections strengthen by structural changes that expand their network of communication. This intricate remodeling requires a precisely timed and localized delivery of cellular components to the growing synapse. In this context, a large family of cellular switches…
