    Two time scales of adaptation in human learning rates

    Jonas Simoens, Senne Braem ... Tom Verguts
    Humans adapt learning rates on both a fast and a slow time scale, and the central orbitofrontal cortex may represent the slow time scale.

    PKMζ-PKCι/λ double-knockout demonstrates atypical PKC is crucial for the persistence of hippocampal LTP and spatial memory

    Panayiotis Tsokas, Changchi Hsieh ... Todd Charlton Sacktor
    Double-knockout of PKMζ and the other atypical PKC, PKCι/λ, reveals that, without PKMζ for maintenance, PKCι/λ becomes persistently active to sustain hippocampal late-LTP and long-term memory.

    FMRP regulates neuronal RNA granules containing stalled ribosomes, not where ribosomes stall

    Jewel T-Y Li, Mehdi Amiri ... Wayne S Sossin
    The loss of FMRP does not affect how neuronal ribosomes are stalled or where they are stalled, but reduces the number of neuronal RNA granules that contain stalled ribosomes.
