Summary:
Researchers have found that a protein best known for building connections between nerve cells and muscle also plays a role in controlling brain cell activity. The discovery could lead therapeutic applications in the development of new drugs for treatment of epilepsy and neurodegenerative disorders.
Commentary: Hopefully this discovery will provide scientists with new insight into how to improve brain function and treat neurological disorders, diseases and conditions.
