NIH grant awarded to University of Florida to study the role of lncRNA SLAMR in synapse function and memory consolidation, focusing on local protein synthesis and synaptic plasticity mechanisms.
Description
This NIH grant project aims to investigate the mechanistic basis of modulation of local translation and structural plasticity by Synaptically-Localized Activity-Modulated lncRNA (SLAMR) in memory consolidation. The research will explore SLAMR's interaction with translation machinery and its effects on hippocampal neuron morphology and signaling, with the goal of uncovering therapeutic strategies for neuropsychiatric disorders.
