Restored plasticity in a mouse model of neurofibromatosis type 1 via inhibition of hyperactive ERK and CREB
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), resulting from neurofibromin gene mutations, frequently suffer from deficits in learning and spatial memory. Mice heterozygous for functional deletion of the NF1 gene (NF1(+/-) mice) also exhibit compromised spatial learning, and deficits in early-stage hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP). Neurofibromin is a multifunctional protein which acts in part as an...
