A chemical genetics approach to exploring neural stem cell signaling circuits generated a bit of a shock. Neurotransmitters and their signaling pathways, thought to function mostly in mature neurons, also provide important support to stem cells for growth and self-renewal.
From simple synaptic rearrangements to complex neural networks, researchers are wrestling mightily with memory...
