A breakthrough study sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.

but the transcription factor CREB, which binds cAMP-response elements in the promoters of cAMP-dependent genes, had not yet been discovered as a target of the cAMP–protein kinase A pathway.

This study demonstrates how long-distance communication in neurons works in the brain, which is key to sustaining the brain's plasticity and ...
