Reelin supplementation recovers synaptic plasticity and cognitive deficits in a mouse model for Angelman syndrome

Abstract excerpt

The Reelin signaling pathway is implicated in processes controlling synaptic plasticity and hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. A single direct in vivo application of Reelin enhances long-term potentiation, increases dendritic spine density and improves associative and spatial learning and memory. Angelman syndrome (AS) is a neurological disorder that presents with an overall defect in synaptic function,...
