Acetylcholine, released from cholinergic fibers originating from the medial septum, shapes social memory, and controls the CA2 hippocampal circuit via nicotinic receptors localized on GABAergic interneurons.
Primate hand preference strength but not direction (left vs. right) generally reflects phylogeny and ecology at species level, but human handedness deviates markedly from all other species.

Biochemical, biophysical, and structural approach to determine the molecular basis of the calcium-sensitive regulation of the Gα chaperone and guanine exchange factor Ric-8A by the neuronal calcium sensor NCS-1.
Mice doubly deficient for Naa10 and Naa12 display embryonic lethality, with both enzymes compensating for each other with amino-terminal acetylation of proteins in mouse development.
