COPPER-UPTAKE IS CRITICAL FOR THE DOWN REGULATION OF SYNAPSIN AND DYNAMIN INDUCED BY NEOCUPROINE: MODULATION OF SYNAPTIC ACTIVITY IN HIPPOCAMPAL NEURONS

Extracellular and intracellular copper and zinc regulate synaptic activity and synaptic plasticity, which may impact brain functionality and human behavior. We have found that a metal coordinating molecule, Neocuproine, transiently increases free intracellular copper and zinc levels (i.e. min) in hi...
