Deleterious effects of synuclein in injury-induced neurodegeneration and in a synaptic model of Parkinson’s Disease
(2012-08)Synucleins represent a conserved family of small proteins that include α-, β-, and γ- isoforms, which are highly expressed in neurons of the vertebrate nervous system. The normal function of these proteins is not well ... -
Vesicle-free transition zones, dense core vesicles, and vesicle pool redistribution contribute to synapse growth
(2012-05)Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a widely studied cellular mechanism of learning and memory. LTP occurs at excitatory synapses on dendritic spines. Two hours after LTP induction in mature rat hippocampal slices, a reduction ...
