ROLE OF HUD IN REGULATING LOCAL DENDRITIC TRANSLATION OF LONG BDNF 3'UTR TRANSCRIPTS

Vanevski, Filip (Georgetown University, 2012)

Highly specific activity-dependent neuronal responses are necessary for modulating synapses to facilitate learning and memory. I present evidence linking a number of important processes involved in regulating synaptic ...
THE ROLE OF LOCAL BDNF SYNTHESIS IN SPINE MORPHOGENESIS

Orefice, Lauren L. (Georgetown University, 2013)

Dendritic spines are the postsynaptic sites for the vast majority of excitatory synapses in the brain. They are highly dynamic structures that undergo changes in size, shape, and number during development, as well as in ...
