X-Message-Number: 24932 From: "The NanoAging Institute" <> Subject: Protein the key to our memories Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 21:15:30 -0400 The preservation of our memories may depend upon the actions of a single protein, according to a new study published in the current issue of the journal Science. The protein appears to chemically alter neurons and boost their ability to communicate with one another. Scientists long have sought to describe all the biochemical events that lead to formation of long-term memories - those that can be recalled after a day or more. http://www.nanoaging.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=623 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24932
