Controlling the Synapse - 49 Proteins at a Time

In the exquisitely regulated networks of the brain, hundreds of
channels, receptors, and other specialized proteins work together to
control communication at the synapses, or junctions between neurons.
Working with mice, scientists have found that a single molecule, known
as Nova, helps control the production of a large, closely related set of
these specialized proteins.

Research published in the July 24, 2005, issue of Nature Genetics.
