Gregory Cole on Rac Your Brain to Forget?

COMMENT This fly paper catches genetic evidence that Rac inhibition slows memory decay, constitutively increased Rac activation accelerates memory decay, and that cofilin hyperactivation gives rise to the same phenotype as seen with Rac inhibition. The authors co

Rac Your Brain to Forget?

RESEARCH NEWS 2010-02-27 Research News It can be a good thing to forget, especially when learned information becomes useless or overly troubling. Yet the mechanisms by which we forget are a mystery: Is forgetting a passive reversal of learning, or must the brain make an effort to

CaMKII: More Than Just an Enzyme; It’s a Scaffold, Too

RESEARCH NEWS 2010-02-27 Research News To form and cement memories, the synapse must restructure itself, breaking down some proteins and rebuilding new configurations. The proteasome, which mediates the breakdown process, migrates into post-synaptic regions following nerve stimul
