Latest paper out of the Puthanveettil lab! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... congrats team!
The lncRNA Gas5 is an activity-responsive scaffold that mediates cAMP-dependent synaptic plasticity
RNA-protein complexes coordinated by the long noncoding RNA Gas5 locally support synaptic remodeling.

Mutations Distrupt Touch-Based Learning, Study Finds » The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology » The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute » University of Florida
A gene called Syngap1 enables touch-based perception, while certain mutations can lead to mixed signals, a new study finds.

The science you need. 🧪
In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.
The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails.
The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.
