NOREPINEPHRINE-MEDIATED SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY: A NOVEL SIGNALING DIALOGUE BETWEEN RECEPTORS AND NUCLEUS
DownloadSpring 2014
Norepinephrine (NE) helps in the consolidation and retention of memories of emotionally charged events. However, the pathway from membrane receptors to nucleus in noradrenergic signaling in the brain is not completely understood. The cyclic AMP-PKA pathway is one of the most studied signaling...
