    Erratic and blood vessel-guided migration of astrocyte progenitors in the cerebral cortex

    Astrocytes are one of the most abundant cell types in the mammalian brain. They play essential roles in synapse formation, maturation, and elimination. However, how astrocytes migrate into the gray matter to a...

    Development of intensiometric indicators for visualizing N-cadherin interaction across cells

    N-cadherin (NCad) is a classical cadherin that mediates cell–cell interactions in a Ca2+-dependent manner. NCad participates in various biological processes, from ontogenesis to higher brain functions, though the...

    The physiological role of Homer2a and its novel short isoform, Homer2e, in NMDA receptor-mediated apoptosis in cerebellar granule cells

    Homer is a postsynaptic scaffold protein, which has long and short isoforms. The long form of Homer consists of an N-terminal target-binding domain and a C-terminal multimerization domain, linking multiple pro...

    Enhanced expression of Pafah1b1 causes over-migration of cerebral cortical neurons into the marginal zone

    Mutations of PAFAH1B1 cause classical lissencephaly in humans. In addition, duplications and triplications of PAFAH1B1 are found in individuals with intellectual disability and other neurological disorders sugges...

    The role of ventral striatal cAMP signaling in stress-induced behaviors

    Changes in cAMP signalling in the brain influence mood and responses to stress. Here, the authors found that Cdk5 regulates cAMP degradation by PDE4 phosphodiesterases in the mouse ventral striatum. Targeting ...

    d-Ser-containing humanin shows promotion of fibril formation

    Humanin (HN), a peptide of 24 amino acid residues, suppresses the neuronal cell death that is induced by the gene products of Alzheimer’s disease. HN contains two Ser residues at positions 7 and 14. Because th...

    Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 governs learning and synaptic plasticity via control of NMDAR degradation

    Learning is accompanied by modulation of postsynaptic signal transduction pathways in neurons. Although the neuronal protein kinase cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) has been implicated in cognitive disorders, ...
