Modulation of neuronal signal transduction and memory formation by synaptic zinc
The physiological role of synaptic zinc has remained largely enigmatic since its initial detection in hippocampal mossy fibers over fifty years ago. The past few years have witnessed a number of studies highlighting the ability of zinc ions to regulate ion channels and intracellular signaling pathwa...
