Slow road to a synapse: Researchers explain why some neuronal proteins take their time getting to the terminal

Grappling with a question that has defied scientific explanation for decades, a small team of researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine offers the first evidence-based model to explain how certain proteins in neurons travel from the central body of the cell (where they are made) down its axon to the terminal synapse – the junction where neurons communicate with each other.
