Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor Hiro Furukawa takes an architectural approach to brain research. He creates structural 3D maps of important proteins that malfunction in brain disorders.  Furukawa has zeroed in on a protein called the NMDA (for N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor that plays a key role in learning and memory. The NMDA receptor acts as a channel to allow ions into neurons...
