Proteins Underlying Devastating Brain Diseases Uncovered

Scientists have discovered a set of brain proteins that underlie some of the most devastating brain diseases including epilepsy, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disease, mental retardation and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases. The researchers developed new methods to explore many proteins within the molecular machinery that underlies brain disease, but also to look how the proteins control the communication between nerve cells and the mechanisms of learning and memory.
