Scientists have found how a protein can make a person’s memory is much better.
Scientists have created a special tool that allows you to change the level of brain activity and memory without resorting to various drugs or chemicals.
Scientists have created a special tool that allows you to change the level of brain activity and memory without resorting to various drugs or chemicals. This tool is the protein that can be encoded in the animal genome for the efficiency of the disconnection inhibitory synapses – connections between neurons.
In GFE3 protein can become an assistant in the study inhibitory synapses in the simulation of brain function. Such information shared by the author of the study Professor at the University of South Carolina don Arnold. In his opinion, a protein may allow control of neuronal activity and lead to progress in the study of diseases ranging from schizophrenia and to cocaine addiction.
Protein is used in internal processes, such as brain loop. The protein may be there for a couple of days, before they are replaced by subsequent numbers. The main purpose GFE3 proteins that hold the brake synapses together is their collapse.
For scientific research, published in the journal nature methods, a team of scientists studied the effects of protein on mice and fish. Experts have discovered that a protein triggered GFE3 neurons, located on both sides of the spine, creating uncoordinated movements.
Drugs can be used to suppress inhibitory synapses in the brain, such as benzodiazapines, which cause anxiety, insomnia, and even seizures. When encoding GFE3 in the genome, scientists can exert influence and regulation of inhibitory synapses in specific cells, without affecting other cells that have various functions.
