Neuron's "Hardware Store" Discovered

Neurobiologists have discovered the neuron's "Home Depot"
- a rich source of building materials that nerve cells use to construct new
connections during learning. The scientists said their discovery offers a new
place to search for the factors that cause neurons to sprout connections called
dendritic spines.

Research published in the December 07, 2006, issue of Neuron.
