Gladstone scientists map process by which brain cells form long-term memories

Scientists have deciphered how a protein called Arc regulates the activity of neurons--providing much-needed clues into the brain's ability to form long-lasting memories. These findings, reported today in Nature Neuroscience, also offer newfound understanding as to what goes on at the molecular level when this process becomes disrupted.
