Is Spatial Map Shaped by Environmental Determinants?
Humans and other animals form internal mental maps of the outer world in order to navigate. Hippocampal place cells and grid cells in MEC (medial entorhinal cortex) are the key components of this navigation system. However, ... -
Regulation of Lateral Mobility of Amyloid Precursor Protein by an Alzheimer’s Disease Risk Gene: Picalm
Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) is implicated in several functions in neurons, but the altered processing of APP in synapses holds a key to understanding the onset of the molecular progression of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). ... -
Structure-Function Analysis of Focal Adhesion Protein Vinculin in Neocortical Axon Growth and Development
Axon growth and extension are dependent on the interaction of neurons with extracellular matrix (ECM). The interaction between cells and ECM is known as focal adhesion (FA). Vinculin is one the major proteins of FA complex ... -
Super-Resolution Imaging Reveals Localization and Regulation of Nanoscale Machinery Involved in the Amyloidogenic Pathway
Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) is a key player in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Despite intuitive insights into differential proteolysis of APP, there is a little understanding of how the amyloidogenic machinery is distributed ...
