JNK Protein (IMAGE)
Caption
Blocking activation of the JNK protein in synapses stops synapses from retracting. Temporal colour coding shows that when the JNK protein is inhibited in synapses using a light beam, a structural protein called "actin" freezes in time. Changing the cells cytoskeleton is part of an array of molecular events that JNK triggers to destabilize synapses.
