Tracking how memories forms
In the latest issue of Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN 92 (7), 34-35), Erin Schuman from the MPI for Brain Research comments on the research of her colleague Robert H. Singer at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York.
Robert Singer recently published two papers in Science (1, 2) on tracking mRNA in the neurons in real-time. Using novel imaging techniques and markers, the researchers could gain more insight on how memories are formed.
