The message and the messenger: delivering RNA in neurons

Kenneth S Kosik et al. Sci STKE. 2002.

Abstract

Synaptic plasticity results in enduring changes in synaptic function. Localized protein synthesis is part of this process. Kosik and Krichevsky describe how a dynamic macromolecular structure, the RNA granule, may be a key element contributing to changes in protein production leading to synaptic plasticity.
