Brain Protein Linked to Seizures, Abnormal Social Behaviors – Technology Networks
The UC Riverside mouse study focused on neurons in the hippocampus.
A team led by a biomedical scientist at the University of California, Riverside has found a new mechanism responsible for the abnormal development of neuronal connections in the mouse brain that leads to seizures and abnormal social behaviors.
The researchers focused on the area of the brain called hippocampus, which plays an important role in learning and social interactions; and synapses, which are specialized contacts between neurons.
