When they boosted SmD1 expression in the cells, they found that CHMP7 remained in the cytoplasm, leaving nucleoporins undamaged and TDP-43 in the nucleus where it can regulate gene expression.

Taken together, the data suggest that proteins best known for their role in cell cycle progression have separate functions in the fully differentiated, mitotically inactive neuron.

Camillo Golgi held on to the belief that the brain is comprised of one vast reticulum, long after it was established that neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system.

Scientists mapped every neuron of an adult animal’s brain for the first time It includes all ~50 million connections between nearly 140,000 neurons in the brain of a fruit fly.
