Investigating the relationship between posttranslational modifications and neuronal activity in controling AMPA receptor expression

很明显，哺乳动物的大脑在记忆形成和学习等各种任务中起着核心作用。为了做到这一点，大脑依赖于其保护称为突触的特定神经元连接功能的能力。由于突触是大脑的功能单位，特定的神经递质受体位于其中，因此了解准确和精确调节其功能的特定机制至关重要。

It is evident that the mammalian brain plays a central role in various tasks such as memory formation and learning. In order to do so, the brain relies on its ability to preserve the function of specific neuronal connections called synapses. Given that synapses are the functional units of the brain where specific neurotransmitter receptors are localized, understanding the specific mechanisms that accurately and precisely regulate their function is of prime importance.
