Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Actin depolymerizing proteins of the actin depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin family are essential for actin dynamics, which is critical for synaptic function. Two ADF/cofilin family members, ADF and n-cofilin, are highly abundant in the brain, where they are present in excitatory synapses. Previous studies demonstrated the relevance of n-cofilin for postsynaptic plasticity, associative learning, and...
