Researchers have found two proteins having a unique bond that enables brain receptors key to learning and memory to not only get and stay where they're needed, but to be removed when they aren't. NMDA receptors increase the activity and communication of brain cells and are strategically placed, much like a welcome center, at the receiving end of the communication highway connecting two cells. They also are targets in brain-degenerating conditions such as Alzheimer's ...Wednesday, 31 October 2012
Brain Study Identifies Unique Protein Bond That Improves Learning and Memory
Researchers have found two proteins having a unique bond that enables brain receptors key to learning and memory to not only get and stay where they're needed, but to be removed when they aren't. NMDA receptors increase the activity and communication of brain cells and are strategically placed, much like a welcome center, at the receiving end of the communication highway connecting two cells.
