Nuclear translocation of jacob in hippocampal neurons after stimuli inducing long-term potentiation but not long-term depression.
<h4>Background</h4>In recent years a number of potential synapto-nuclear protein messengers have been characterized that are thought to be involved in plasticity-related gene expression, and that have the capacity of importin- mediated and activity-dependent nuclear import. However, ther...
