RhoGTPases: A Three-Way Approach to Controlling Neural Plasticity (VIDEO)
Caption
The autocrine signaling leads to activation of an additional set of signaling molecules called small GTPase proteins. The researchers monitored the spatiotemporal activation patterns of these molecules in single dendritic spines during synaptic plasticity and found that all three proteins are activated simultaneously, but their activation patterns differed significantly.
