Technical Details:
Many millions of people battle chronic neurological conditions and diseases worldwide. This discovery will help understand processes of long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) of neuronal activity and will prove to be an indispensible tool in the research for major cellular mechanisms that underlies learning and memory.
Looking for Partners:
This transgenic mouse model could be used as a research tool for neurodegenerative dieases and disorders.
