Molecular Sculptor of Memories Revealed | Alzheimer’s Articles, Information and Resources
October 18th, 2011 admin Changing amounts of a certain protein in the brains of mammals affected their learning and memory profoundly, revealed a recent study. The protein, called kibra, was linked in previous studies in humans to memory and protection against late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. The new work in mice, reported in the Sept. 22 issue of Neuron, shows that [...]
