Exploring the F-actin/CPEB3 interaction and its possible role in the molecular mechanism of long-term memory [Biophysics and Computational Biology]

Dendritic spines are tiny membranous protrusions on the dendrites of neurons. Dendritic spines change shape in response to input signals, thereby strengthening the connections between neurons. The growth and stabilization of dendritic spines is thought to be essential for maintaining long-term memory. Actin cytoskeleton remodeling in spines is a key...
