Amyloid precursor protein (APP) modulates the many processes through which newborn neurons are generated in the adult brain, state researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in a new study. An important component of the proper formation of these neurons are the GABAergic interneurons, which maintain a state of homeostasis between excitation and inhibition. When new neurons are generated from neural stem cells, they are first … Continue reading Dysfunctional precursor protein impairs making of new neurons in brain.
