Mardinly, Alan Robert. 2013. Regulation of Synapse Development by Activity Dependent Transcription in Inhibitory Neurons. Doctoral dissertation, Harvard University.Abstract
Neuronal activity and subsequent calcium influx activates a signaling cascade that causes transcription factors in the nucleus to rapidly induce an early-response program of gene expression. This early-response program is composed of transcriptional regulators that in turn induce transcription of late-response genes, which are enriched for regulators of synaptic development and plasticity that act locally at the synapse.Terms of Use
