Physiological activation of synaptic Rac>PAK (p-21 activated kinase) signaling is defective in a mouse model of fragile X syndromeLulu Y Chen
Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California 92697, USA
J Neurosci 30:10977-84. 2010..We propose that a Rac>PAK signaling pathway needed for rapid stabilization of activity-induced actin filaments, and thus for normal spine morphology and lasting synaptic changes, is defective in FXS...
BDNF upregulation rescues synaptic plasticity in middle-aged ovariectomized ratsEniko A Kramar
Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697 4291, USA
Neurobiol Aging 33:708-19. 2012..These results provide the first evidence that minimally invasive, mechanism-based drug treatments can ameliorate defects in spine plasticity caused by depressed estrogen levels...
LTP induction translocates cortactin at distant synapses in wild-type but not Fmr1 knock-out miceRonald R Seese
Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, University of California, Irvine, California 92697 1275, USA
