Synapses: from molecules to higher brain function and diseases (SYMBAD)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
...llaborative projects between academic teams. The private sector comprises companies involved in the development of new therapeutical strategies to combat brain diseases (GSK, Neurosearch, Xygen, and Noscira) and companies involved in technical development to be used in synaptic research and beyond (Bioxtal, Amplitude Systems, Explora Nova). The SYMBAD network aims to: • Teach a number of increasin ...

GSK-3 in neuronal plasticity and neurodegeneration: basic mechanisms and pre-clinical assessment (NEURO.GSK3)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"Neuronal circuits in mammalian brain act predominantly via excitatory synapses on dendritic spines. Formation of new spines in adult brain constitutes the structural basis of neuronal plasticity. The underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown but depend essentially on kinase-dependent signalling pathways. Final formation of synapses on spines depends on dynamic interactions of microtu ...
