Neural plasticity depends on this long noncoding RNA’s journey from nucleus to synapse

by  The Scripps Research Institute Synaptic activation promotes a signaling cascade that results in the expression of long noncoding RNA, ADEPTR. It’s quickly transported along dendrites to synapses, where it acts on proteins involved in remodeling.
